Matter of: Raytheon Company File: B-409651; B-409651.2 Date: July 9, 2014 Joseph P. Hornyak, Esq., David S. Black, Esq., Gregory R. Hallmark, Esq., and Elizabeth N. Jochum, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, and Rebecca B. Ransom, Esq., Raytheon Company, for the protester. Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Benjamin Kohr, Esq., and Samantha S. Lee, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the intervenor. Christian M. Butler, Esq., and John M. Sabatino, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained where the record shows that the agency's source selection decision lacks a rational basis, the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal under the past performance factor, and there is a reasonable possibility that the protester was prejudiced by the agency's errors. DECISION Raytheon Company, of Marlborough, Massachusetts, protests the award of a contract to EFW, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSBP1012ROO24 for the acquisition and deployment of an integrated fixed towers (IFT) system in support of the agency's border enforcement efforts. Raytheon challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals under the operational utility, technical and past performance factors, as well as its best-value tradeoff decision. We sustain the protest.
