Accountablity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: CALNET, Inc. File: B-413386.2; B-413386.3 Date: October 28, 2016 Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., and Moshe B. Broder, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. Scott A. Schipma, Esq., and Stephen J. Migala, Esq., Winston & Strawn LLP, for Universal Consulting Services, Inc., an intervenor. Ana F. Smith, Esq., Diana L. King, Esq., and Eric D. Flores, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's cost realism evaluation is sustained where the record shows that the agency had no basis to find the proposed costs of the offerors realistic. 2. Protest that agency unreasonably found several proposals equivalent is sustained where, although the agency's evaluators identified detailed strengths and weaknesses in each proposal, and also ranked the proposals based on these non- cost findings, the agency's source selection decision relied entirely on the adjectival ratings assigned to the proposals in making a finding of equivalence. DECISION CALNET, Inc. (CI), a small business of Reston, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Universal Consulting Services, Inc. (UCS), a small business of Fairfax, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-15-R-3356, issued by the Department of the Navy for a range of technical support services to be provided to the Naval Sea Systems Command Pacific Enterprise Data Center. CI maintains that the agency misevaluated proposals and made an unreasonable source selection decision. We sustain the protest.
