          Robert J. Sherry, Esq., Kathleen M. Paralusz, Esq., and Marc R. Baluda, Esq.,
          Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, for the protester.

          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
