Protest issue raised subsequent to a post-award debriefing provided to a vendor in a Federal Supply Schedule procurement is untimely where it was filed more than 10 days after the basis of protest was known; since the procurement was not conducted on the basis of competitive proposals, the timeliness rules based on protests which challenge a procurement conducted on the basis of competitive proposals under which a debriefing is requested and required are not applicable.<p/> 2. Protest challenging the evaluation of vendors' quotations is denied where the record establishes that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accord with the stated evaluation criteria.<p/> 3. Protest alleging that, in its evaluation of the protester's quotation, the agency unreasonably ignored information that was "simply too close at hand" (but not contained in the protester's quotation) is denied where the protester fails to demonstrate that the information in question was known to the individuals involved in the evaluation of the quotation.<p/> 4. Protest that agency improperly changed the stated basis for award from "best value" to low priced/technically acceptable is denied where the record reflects that the agency found the quotations of the awardee and protester to be, at best, technically equal and made award to the lower-priced vendor; the fact that no price/technical tradeoff was required does not negate the fact that the agency properly adhered to the best-value award basis. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297508/html/GAOREPORTS-B-297508.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297508/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-297508.pdf GAO/B-297508 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-297508 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-297508; B-297508; B-297508.2, The MIL Corporation, January 26, 2006;
