Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This version has been approved for public release. Matter of: All Points Logistics, Inc. File: B-418700.2 Date: January 11, 2021 Thomas K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David, Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for the protester. Kelli Cochran-Seabrook, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Michael P. Grogan, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's corporate experience is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria. 2. Protest that agency failed to raise concerns about protester's proposal after opening discussions is denied. The record reflects that the agency did not open discussions, but rather, merely asked clarifying questions during contractor oral presentations, which did not amount to discussions. DECISION All Points Logistics, Inc. (APL), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Merritt Island, Florida, protests the issuance of a task order to Innovative Management Concepts (IMC), an SDVOSB of Dulles, Virginia, under task order request (TOR) No. 47QFCA20R0018, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for enterprise services integration and modernization. The protester contends that the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and that GSA erred when it failed to advise APL about flaws in its proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The agency issued the solicitation on March 9, 2020, pursuant to the procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 16.5, to SDVOSB firms holding GSA Veterans Technology Services 2 (VETS 2) indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) governmentwide acquisition contracts.
