DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
The decision issued on the date below was subject to
Decision                           a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has
been approved for public release.
Matter of:  Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc.
File:     B-420116.6; B-420116.7
Date:     August 22, 2022
Kayleigh M. Scalzo, Esq., Andrew R. Guy, Esq., and Anna M. Menzel, Esq., Covington
& Burling, LLP, for the protester.
Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., Carla J. Weiss, Esq., Moshe B. Broder, Esq., and Scott E.
Whitman, Esq., Jenner & Block, LLP, for General Dynamics Information Technology,
Inc., the intervenor.
Jaron E. Chriss, Esq., and Bethany White, Esq., General Services Administration, for
the agency.
Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation is denied where the record shows that
the evaluation was consistent with the contents of the offerors' proposals and the terms
of the solicitation.
2. Agency's selection of a lower-rated, lower-priced proposal for award is
unobjectionable where the agency's tradeoff decision demonstrates that the agency
understood the relative merits and prices of the proposals.
DECISION
Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (Booz Allen), of McLean, Virginia, protests the General
Services Administration's (GSA's) issuance of a task order to General Dynamics
Information Technology, Inc. (GDIT), of Falls Church, Virginia, under task order request
for proposals (TORFP) No. ID04200119. The TORFP, issued by GSA on behalf of the
Department of the Air Force, seeks information technology (IT) support services for the
First Air Force/Air Forces Northern (AFNORTH) mission deployed systems and special
programs. Booz Allen, the incumbent contractor, argues that the agency's evaluation,
tradeoff analysis, and resulting award decision are unreasonable.

We deny the protest.
