Matter of:   Dynaxys LLC

File:        B-414459.4

Date:       April 18, 2018

Jonathan J. Frankel, Esq., Craig LaChance, Esq., Karla J. Letsche, Esq., and
Zachary H. Schroeder, Esq., Frankel PLLC, and Patricia H. Wittie, Esq., for the
protester.
Julie Cannatti, Esq., Blythe I. Rodgers, Esq., and Dean A. Roy, Esq., Department

Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation is sustained where the record
shows that the agency did not reasonably and equally evaluate proposals under the
technical approach factor.

2. Protest challenging the agency's best-value source selection decision is sustained
where the record fails to support the agency's conclusion that the protester's and
awardee's proposals were equal under the most important evaluation factor, technical
approach, and the record otherwise includes insufficient information and analysis to
determine that the award selection was reasonable.

3. Protest that the agency unequally evaluated proposals by waiving a material
solicitation requirement for the awardee's price proposal is denied, where the waiver
was not prejudicial to the protester.
DECISION

Dynaxys LLC, of Silver Spring, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to KeyBank
National Association, of Overland Park, Kansas, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. DUR1 OCR-1 5-R-0001, which was issued by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), for multi-family mortgage loan servicing. Dynaxys challenges the
agency's evaluation and argues that the best-value tradeoff and source selection
decision was unreasonable.


We sustain the protest in part, and deny it in part.
