         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the agency's best value source selection decision is sustained
         where the record shows that there is insufficient information and analysis in the
         record, which includes both a contemporaneous source selection statement and a
         post-protest addendum to that statement, to determine that the award selection was
         reasonable.
         DECISION

         Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. (JCWS) protests the award of a contract to
         DynCorp Technical Services, LLC, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 9-BJ32-
         T63-0-24P, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to
         procure center operations support services (COSS) for the Lyndon B. Johnson Space
         Center and associated facilities in Houston, Texas. JCWS primarily contends that
         the source selection authority's (SSA) best value determination was flawed.

         We sustain the protest.

         NASA issued this solicitation on July 25, 2001 seeking proposals to provide a wide
         array of support services to the Johnson Space Center under a contract using hybrid
         cost-reimbursement and fixed-price contracting methods, with an award fee
         provision, over a 2-year base period, with up to three 1-year option periods. The
         RFP's scope of work divided the support services into 14 separate annexes. Annexes
         1-5 and 8-12 (administrative support, maintenance and repair, directed services,
