          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal is sustained where
          record fails to demonstrate reasonable basis for evaluators' conclusion that awardee
          had complied with solicitation requirements for a transition plan and for
          identification of project milestones.

          2. Protest challenging agency evaluation of protester's proposal is sustained where
          record fails to demonstrate reasonable basis for evaluators' findings pertaining to
          lack of detail in protester's proposal.
          DECISION

          Irving Burton Associates, Inc. (IBA) of Falls Church, Virginia, protests the issuance
          of a task order to Technology, Automation & Management, Inc. (TeAM) of Falls
          Church, Virginia, under task order proposal request (TOPR) No. JLF-09-13284, issued
          by the Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, Department of the Army, for
          defense health information management system support services. Competition
          under the TOPR was  restricted to prior awardees of a multiple-award indefinite-
          delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for TriCare evaluation, analysis, and
          management  support services. IBA argues that the agency's evaluation of the task
          order proposals was unreasonable.


We sustain the protest.
