Highlights

Opti-Lite Optical protests the award decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 663-56-98, following VA's reevaluation of proposals under that solicitation. Opti-Lite had earlier protested VA's award of a contract to Classical Optical Laboratories, Inc. under this RFQ, and our Office sustained that protest. Opti-Lite Optical, B-281693, March 22, 1999, 99-1 CPD 61. In response to our decision, the VA reevaluated the proposals using the original technical evaluation committee and determined that Classic's proposal represented the best value to the government. Opti-Lite protests that VA's reevaluation was improper because the original evaluators were used and because the VA failed to refer the matter to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for review under its certificate of competency (COC).
