Matter of: DKW Communications, Inc. File: B-411182; B-411182.2 Date: June 9, 2015 Lee P. Curtis, Esq., Jeffrey N. Eisenstein, Esq., Andrew E. Shipley, Esq., and William J. Bainbridge, Esq., Perkins Coie LLP, and Joseph P. Hornyak, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for the protester. Paul A. DeBolt, Esq., Melanie Jones Totman, Esq., Christina K. Scopin, Esq., and Collier L. Johnson II, Esq., Venable LLP, for Agile Defense, Inc., the intervenor. Caroline Chien, Esq., and Geraldine Chanel, Esq., Department of Defense, 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 1. Protest that agency failed to conduct a reasonable cost/technical tradeoff is sustained where the record shows that the agency did not consider cost to the government as part of its award decision and, to the extent the tradeoff considered non-cost features of proposals, it was inadequately documented. 2. Protest that agency unreasonably failed to consider protester's relevant, positive past performance information that was close at hand is sustained where, under the circumstances, it was unreasonable for the agency not to consider such information. DECISION DKW Communications, Inc., of Washington, D.C., protests the issuance of a task order to Agile Defense, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, by the Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), under request for proposals (RFP) No. HRO01 1-14-R-0001 for unclassified information technology (IT) services and support. DKW challenges the agency's evaluation of its proposal and the agency's best value tradeoff decision. We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
