         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's program manager,
         a key personnel position, is sustained where the record demonstrates that the
         proposed individual did not meet the minimum qualifications of the program
         manager position.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's technical and past performance evaluation of
         the protester's proposal is denied where record shows that the evaluations were
         reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), of Herndon, Virginia, the incumbent
         contractor, protests the award of a contract by the Department of Transportation,
         Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), to Genex Systems, LLC, of Hampton,
         Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTFH61-15-R-00023 for new
         structures laboratory support services. PSI argues that the agency unreasonably
         evaluated Genex's proposal by finding that its proposed program manager met the
         solicitation requirements. PSI also argues that the agency did not reasonably
         evaluate its proposal in multiple areas.


We sustain the protest.
