Protest challenging the agency’s evaluation of the protester’s quotation under the solicitation’s live demonstration coding challenge is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation criteria.
DECISION
Highlight Technologies, Inc. (Highlight), a small business of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of task orders to IntelliBridge, LLC, a small business of McLean, Virginia, and Steampunk, Inc., a small business, of McLean, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 70SBUR24Q00000105, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), for development services to enhance and modernize the intake domain for the myUSCIS program. Highlight argues that the agency improperly evaluated its technical quotation under the coding challenge factor of the evaluation criteria, and therefore, the agency’s best-value determination was unreasonable.
We deny the protest.
