           Matter of:   Logistics 2020, Inc.

           File:        B-408543; B-408543.3

           Date:        November 6, 2013

           Nicole Hardin Brakstad, Esq., LeClair Ryan; Nicole Hardin Brakstad, Esq., LeClair
           Ryan, for the protester.
           Joseph M. Goldstein, Esq., Shutts & Bowen LLP, for the intervenor.
           Howard Phifer, Esq., National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, for the agency.
           Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest is sustained where the agency improperly abandoned the solicitation's
           stated evaluation scheme, which provided for a qualitative evaluation of proposed
           personnel, by adopting a review that assessed only whether the proposed
           personnel met applicable requirements.

           2. Protest that the agency failed to evaluate the realism of proposed prices is
           sustained where the record does not show that the agency conducted a price
           realism analysis, as required by the solicitation.
           DECISION

           Logistics 2020, Inc., of Chester, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
           Advanced C4 Solutions, Inc., (AC4S), of Tampa, Florida, issued by the National
           Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) under request for proposals (RFP)
           No. HM0210-12-R-0002 for NGA's deployed logistics services 2 program.
           Logistics, the incumbent contractor, argues that the agency's evaluation of
           proposals, and its selection of AC4S for award, were unreasonable and inconsistent
           with the terms of the solicitation.

           We sustain the protest.

           The RFP was issued as a total small business set-aside on October 5, 2012, to
           acquire logistical support services on behalf of NGA's expeditionary operations
