This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Dismas Charities, Inc. File: B-292091 Date: June 25, 2003 Alex D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., and Daniel S. Herzfeld, Esq., Shaw Pittman, for the protester. J. Mark Taylor, Esq., Moore, Taylor & Thomas, for Alston Wilkes Society, an intervenor. Mary E. Carney, Esq., and Aaron T. Marshall, Esq., U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is sustained where agency applied an evaluation scheme other than that established by the solicitation, failed to evaluate all of protester's proposal, failed to evaluate past performance in a consistent manner and as specified by the solicitation, and failed to permit protester to address adverse past performance information. 2. Where contemporaneous record reflects multiple procurement flaws, and the agency's post-protest reevaluation of offerors' proposals--which was conducted in the heat of an adversarial process--includes, among other things, an increase to the awardee's rating which is unsupported by objective documentation, GAO declines to afford any material weight to the reevaluation activities and rejects the assertion that the reevaluation demonstrates that protester was not prejudiced by the agency's errors in the conduct of the procurement. DECISION Dismas Charities, Inc. protests the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) award of a contract to Alston Wilkes Society (AWS) pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-0724-SE to establish, operate, and maintain a community
