[Protest of FHLBB Contract Award for Security Services]

A firm protested a Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) contract award for security services to another bidder, contending that FHLBB improperly: (1) evaluated its bid; and (2) determined that the awardee was responsible. GAO held that: (1) the protester untimely filed the portion of the protest alleging an improper evaluation after bid opening; and (2) it would not review an agency's affirmative responsibility determination, absent proof of fraud, bad faith, or failure to apply definitive responsibility criteria. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
