This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Arctic Slope Mission Services, LLC File: B-410992.5; B-410992.6 Date: January 8, 2016 Amy Laderberg O'Sullivan, Esq., Olivia L. Lynch, Esq., and Jason M. Crawford, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. John Graham, Sullivan Cove Consultants, Inc., an intervenor John R. Caterini, Esq., and Barry C. Hansen, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is sustained where the record shows that the agency gave undue emphasis to one of the evaluation subfactors, and treated offerors unequally by reading some offerors' proposals expansively and giving offerors the benefit of the doubt, while applying a much stricter standard when evaluating other proposals. 2. Protest of past performance evaluation is sustained where agency failed to sufficiently evaluate the relevance of past performance, as required by the solicitation. DECISION Arctic Slope Mission Services, LLC,1 of Beltsville, Maryland, an 8(a) small disadvantaged business, protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. DJJ-14-JAFMS-R-0002, issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for investigative support services for DOJ's asset forfeiture program. Arctic Slope contends that the agency's evaluation of proposals was unequal and otherwise unreasonable. 1 Arctic Slope is a subsidiary of ASRC Federal Holding Company, an Alaska Native Corporation.
