         DIGEST

         Protest is sustained where the awardee's proposal, and the agency's evaluation
         thereof, failed to reasonably reflect the manner in which the contract will be
         performed, the level of costs likely associated with performance, and the corporate
         entity that will perform the contract.
         DECISION

         Wyle Laboratories, Inc., of Houston, Texas, protests the National Aeronautics and
         Space Administration's (NASA) award of the human health and performance
         contract (HHPC) to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of
         McLean, Virginia, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. NNJ12399614R for
         medical, biomedical, and health services supporting NASA's human spaceflight
         programs. Wyle asserts, among other things, that SAIC's proposal, and the
         agency's evaluation thereof, failed to reasonably reflect the manner in which the
         contract will be performed, the level of costs likely associated with performance, and
         the corporate entity that will perform the contract.


We sustain the protest.
