File:       B-413139.4; B-413139.5; B-413139.6

Date:        June 11, 2018

Michelle A. Levin, Esq., and Benjamin Little, Esq., Sirote & Permutt, PC, for Will
Technology, Inc.; and John E. McCarthy, Jr., Esq., James G. Peyster, Esq., and
Michael G. Gruden, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Paragon TEC, Inc., for the
protesters.
J. Andrew Watson III, Esq., Michael Rich, Esq., W. Brad English, Esq., and Emily J.
Chancey, Esq., Maynard Cooper & Gale, PC, for Canvas, Inc., the intervenor.
D. Evelyn Lyon, Esq., Vincent A. Salgado, Esq., and Jerry L. Seemann, Esq., National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency.
Young S. Lee, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Previously withdrawn allegations challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's
proposal are dismissed where protester's proposal was not reevaluated during
corrective action.

2. Protest that discussions were inadequate is denied where during a reevaluation,
rating assigned to protester's proposal was revised due to the loss of a significant
strength rather than due to the assignment of a weakness.

3. Protests are sustained where record demonstrates, and agency concedes, that
proposals were evaluated unequally due to application of higher standards to
representations made in protesters' proposals while information in awardee's proposal
was accepted at face value.
DECISION

Will Technology, Inc., (WTI) a small business of Huntsville, Alabama, and Paragon
TEC, Inc., a small business of Cleveland, Ohio, protest the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration's (NASA) decision to award a contract to Canvas, Inc., a small
business of Huntsville, Alabama, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP)
