This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Matter of: AT&T Government Solutions, Inc. File: B-413012; B-413012.2 Date: July 28, 2016 Daniel R. Forman, Esq., Mark A. Ries, Esq., and Jonathan M. Baker, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. Kevin P. Mullen, Esq., Morrison & Foerster LLP, for MacAulay-Brown, Inc., the intervenor. Col. Robert J. Preston, II, Lt. Col. Mark E. Allen, Maj. David S. Gilkes, and Lawrence M. Anderson, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Kenneth E. Patton, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the contract award was tainted by an organizational conflict of interest is sustained where the record does not demonstrate that the agency reasonably evaluated a potential unequal access to information conflict arising from the relationship between the awardee and one of its proposed subcontractors. 2. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's past performance is sustained where the record shows that the evaluation contained errors in the assignment of adjectival ratings and where the source selection authority relied upon those errors in the award decision. 3. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the realism of the awardee's proposed cost/price and the acceptability of its technical proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluations were reasonable. 4. Protest that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions with the protester is denied because the agency found the protester's proposed cost/price was acceptable, and was therefore not required to advise the protester that its cost/price was higher than the awardee's.
