Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States 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: L3 Unidyne, Inc. File: B-414902; B-414902.2; B-414902.3 Date: October 16, 2017 Craig A. Holman, Esq., Kara L. Daniels, Esq., Stuart W. Turner, Esq., Michael E. Samuels, Esq., and Amanda J. Sherwood, Esq., Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, for the protester. Devon E. Hewitt, Esq., and Michael E.

Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that agency improperly made award to concern that required execution of binding arbitration agreements as a condition of employment for prospective new hires is sustained where statute prohibits award of a contract to any firm requiring certain types of arbitration agreements as a condition of employment; awardee conditioned employment of prospective new hires on execution of an arbitration agreement; and agency never considered whether or not the required arbitration agreements violated the statutory prohibition. 2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals is sustained where record shows that agency's evaluation was not consistent with the terms of the solicitation and applicable statutes and regulations. DECISION L3 Unidyne, Inc., of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Leidos, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N66604-17-R-3047, issued by the Department of the Navy for operation of the agency's towed array facility. L3 maintains that the agency misevaluated proposals, unreasonably failed to engage in discussions, and made an unreasonable source selection decision. We sustain the protest.
