         Matter of:   EFW Inc.

         File:        B-412608; B-412608.2

         Date:        April 7, 2016

         Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., Samantha S. Lee, Esq., George E.
         Petel, Esq., and Moshe B. Broder, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester.
         David Z. Bodenheimer, Esq., and Robert J. Sneckenberg, Esq., Crowell & Moring
         LLP, for the intervenor.
         Denise Gault, Esq., Cheryl R. Parker, Esq., and Anthony J. Paza, Esq., Department
         of the Navy, for the agency.
         Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest alleging that the agency engaged in misleading discussions is sustained
         where the record shows that the agency framed its discussion questions in a
         manner that did not reflect the breadth of the agency's true concerns.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation is sustained
         where the record shows that the evaluation mechanically relied on a crosswalk table
         that obscured differences between the proposals, and failed to look beyond overall
         adjectival ratings in concluding that the offeror's past performance was equivalent.

         3. Protest challenging the agency's price realism analysis is sustained where the
         agency unreasonably assigned the protester's proposal a significant weakness for
         realism based on considerations not properly within the scope of price realism
         analysis.
         DECISION

         EFW Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, protests the award of an indefinite-delivery,
         indefinite-quantity (IDIQ), contract to DRS ICAS, LLC, of Beavercreek, Ohio, by the
         Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, under
         request for proposals (RFP) No. N00039-15-R-0030, for development, integration,
         test, support, and installation services for a Link 11 Data Terminal and Link 22
         Signal Processing Control solution for the Navy's Command and Control Processor
