         DIGEST

         Protest that awardee misrepresented that three proposed key personnel had agreed
         to work for the firm is sustained where the record shows that the three individuals
         had not so agreed, and where the misrepresentation materially affected the
         evaluation of the awardee's proposal.
         DECISION

         ACS  Government Services, Inc. (ACS) protests the issuance of a purchase order to
         Metrica, Inc. under a request for quotations (RFQ) issued by the Army Medical
         Research Acquisition Activity (USAMRAA), Department of the Army, for installation
         and training services of the Defense Medical Logistics Standard System (DMLSS)
         Deployment  Release 3.X. ACS argues that Metrica materially misrepresented the
         availability of certain key personnel, that the Army's evaluation of Metrica's
         quotation was unreasonable, and that the agency's source selection decision was
         improper.

         We  sustain the protest.

         Background

         DMLSS  Deployment  Release 3.X is part of an automated information system which
         standardizes medical inventory management practices, equipment management,
         medical maintenance, financial accounting and tracking, customer area inventory
