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: ENSCO, Inc. File: B-414844.4; B-414844.5; B-414844.6 Date: July 5, 2018 John E. Jensen, Esq., Meghan D. Doherty, Esq., Alexander B. Ginsberg, Esq., Travis L. Mullaney, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for the protester; Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., Mark Wishner, Esq., Ryan Bradel, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, LLP, for CENTRA Technology, Inc., the intervenor. Debra B. Haworth, Esq., Defense Threat Reduction Agency, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the agency conducted an unreasonable cost realism evaluation is sustained where the record shows that the agency's evaluation methodology resulted in disparate and heightened scrutiny of the protester's cost proposal, and the agency recognized a benefit in the awardee's technical proposal without evaluating the realism of the rates for the work to be performed as required by the solicitation. DECISION ENSCO, Inc., of Springfield, Virginia, protest the award of a contract to CENTRA Technology, Inc., of Burlington, Massachusetts, by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), under request for proposals (RFP) No. HDTRA1 -17-R-0014 for the provision of support services. ENSCO challenges the agency's cost evaluation and best-value tradeoff decision. We sustain the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, issued on January 5, 2017, sought proposals to provide services to the agency's Nuclear Enterprise Support Directorate in support of the agency's balanced survivability assessments (BSA) teams, which assess mission survivability of critical U.S. and allied national/theater mission systems, networks, architectures, infrastructures and assets.
