Matter of: Sentrillion Corporation File: B-406843.3; B-406843.4; B-406843.5 Date: April 22, 2013 William W. Goodrich, Esq., Judith B. Kassel, Esq., Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Patrick R. Quigley, Esq., Arent Fox LLP, for the protester. Rand L. Allen, Esq., Kevin J. Maynard, Esq., Brian Walsh, Esq., W. Baron A. Avery, Esq., and Collin D. Swan, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Tyco Integrated Security, LLC, the intervenor. C. Joseph Carroll, Esq., Department of Justice, United States Marshals Service, for the agency. Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency failed to engage in meaningful discussions is sustained where the record shows that, although the agency held discussions, those discussions did not address a deficiency that was present in both the protester's initial and revised proposals. 2. Protester suffered prejudice from the agency's misleading discussions where the record does not support the agency's argument that it would have found the protester's proposal technically unacceptable based on other evaluation concerns, even if discussions had been properly conducted. DECISION Sentrillion Corporation, of Reston, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Tyco Integrated Security, LLC, of Alexandria, Virginia, by the Department of Justice, United States Marshals Services, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DJMS-12-R-001 1 for security services at federal courthouses and other government facilities nationwide. The protester asserts that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions and failed to reasonably evaluate the offerors' proposals. We sustain the protest.
