Matter of: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc File: B-408565; B-408565.2; B-408565.3 Date: November 13, 2013 Thomas P. Humphrey, Esq., David Z. Bodenheimer, Esq., John E. McCarthy, Jr., Esq., Adelicia Cliffe, Esq., Stephan D. Rice, Esq., Olivia L. Lynch, Esq., Gordon Griffin, Esq., and Robert Sneckenberg, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, and Catherine K. Ronis, BAE Systems, Inc., for the protester. Mark D. Colley, Esq., Kara L. Daniels, Esq., Emma V. Broomfield, Esq., Amy L. Likoff, Esq., C. Scott Morrow, Esq., and Lauren J. Schlanger, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, and Rebecca B. Ransom, Esq., Raytheon Company, for the intervenor. Thomas Florip, Esq., Kim Foltz, Esq., and Gina Gascoigne, Esq., Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command, for the agency. Eric M. Ransom, Esq., K. Nicole Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is sustained where the agency failed to reasonably evaluate technical risk in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest challenging awardee's technical evaluation is sustained where the documentary record is insufficient to permit meaningful review of the agency's basis for eliminating multiple risks and weaknesses from the evaluation. 3. Protest challenging awardee's corporate experience evaluation is sustained where the agency acknowledges that it improperly credited the awardee with outdated experience. 4. Although we conclude that the agency improperly distributed post-final proposal submissions from the awardee to its technical evaluators, where the submissions were not made for the purpose of revising the awardee's proposal, and were not material to the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal, we conclude that the protester was not prejudiced by the agency's error.
