handle is hein.gao/gaobadtkt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountabilty * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: TOTE Services, Inc. File: B-414295; B-414295.2 Date: April 25, 2017 Howard W. Roth, Esq., Daniel P. Radthorne, Esq., Adam K. Lasky, Esq., and James F. Nagle, Esq., Oles Morrison Rinker & Baker, LLP, for the protester. Robert E. Korroch, Esq., and William Alexander Wozniak, Esq., Williams Mullen, for U.S. Marine Management, Inc., the intervenor. Patrick Mayette, Esq., Allison McDade, Esq., and Tricia A. Nicewicz, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is denied in part where the agency's evaluation of the past technical performance of the awardee reasonably considered two affiliates that would be meaningfully involved in the performance of the awarded contract. 2. Protest challenging an agency's evaluation of past technical performance is sustained in part where the agency failed to adequately document its evaluation and where the agency credited offerors for relevant performance without considering the quality of that performance experience, and credited offerors for positive performance without considering the relevance of that performance. DECISION TOTE Services, Inc., of Jacksonville, Florida, protests the award of a contract to U.S. Marine Management, Inc. (USMMI), of Norfolk, Virginia, by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. N32205-16-R-3101, for operation and maintenance of the agency's Sea Band X- Based Radar (SBX-1) vessel. TOTE challenges the agency's evaluation of past technical performance and argues that the agency's best-value tradeoff was flawed. We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
