Bailey, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, PC, for Alcazar Trades, Inc.; and Ross Crown, Esq., Lewis Roca Rothgerber LLP, for Sparkle Warner JV, LLC, the protesters. Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., Brown Rudnick LLP, for REB ROWE Services, LLC, the intervenor. Leigh Ann Bunetta, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Frank Maguire, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency evaluation of protester's price for custodial services as unrealistically low is sustained where the record shows that the agency price analysis simply compared the price to the government estimate and other offerors' prices without considering the protester's staffing approach; a price realism evaluation must consider the unique technical approaches proposed by each offeror and an agency may not mechanically apply its own estimate to an offeror's proposal without considering an offeror's unique approach. DECISION Alcazar Trades, Inc. (ATI), of San Antonio, Texas, and Sparkle Warner JV, LLC (Sparkle Warner), of Albuquerque, New Mexico, protest the General Services Administration's (GSA) award of a contract to REB ROWE Services, LLC (REB ROWE), of Reading, Pennsylvania, under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-08P- 14-JA-C-0021, for custodial services at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado. The protesters challenge the evaluation of their respective proposals. We sustain ATI's protest and dismiss Sparkle Warner's protest.
