The GAO denial decision has now been posted for this protest. See details below.
DIGEST
1. Protest that the agency violated procurement regulations by issuing a solicitation directly to select vendors is denied where the record shows the agency’s actions were consistent with applicable procurement regulations.
2. Protest that the agency unreasonably failed to extend the due date for quotation submissions is denied where the protester has not shown the agency acted unreasonably.
DECISION
AtechGov, LLC, of Bethesda, Maryland, protests the agency’s actions in connection with request for quotations (RFQ) No. 12SAD125Q0007, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for information technology (IT) support services.
