DIGEST

1. Protest is sustained where the agency's evaluation of the protester's past
performance was inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation and inadequately
documented.

2. Protest is sustained where the agency's price evaluation failed to evaluate offerors'
option year prices contrary to the terms of the solicitation and where the record was
inadequately documented.

3. Protest of an agency's source selection decision is sustained where the best-value
tradeoff was based on unreasonable and inadequately documented evaluations.

Falcon Capital Advisors, LLC (Falcon), of Washington, D.C., under request for
proposals (RFP) No. DU208WR-16-R-0001, issued by the Department of Housing and
