Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision 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: Solers, Inc. File: B-414672.3; B-414672.8 Date: October 9, 2018 Michael Gardner, Esq., Shomari B. Wade, Esq., and Brett Castellat, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, LLP, for the protester. Daniel R. Forman, Esq., and Laura J. Mitchell Baker, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Vencore, Inc.; and Deneen J. Melander, Esq., Richard A. Sauber, Esq., and Lanora C. Pettit, Esq., Robbins, Russell, Englert, Orseck, Untereiner & Sauber LLP, and Kenneth M. Reiss, Esq., Northrop Grumman Corporation, for Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, the intervenors. Sarah L. Carroll, Esq., and Aubri Dubose, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Elizabeth Witwer, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal under the most important non-price factor is sustained where the record demonstrates that the agency's conclusion regarding the impact of an assigned strength is inconsistent with the underlying evaluation. 2. Protest alleging that agency identified strengths in other offerors' proposals, but unreasonably failed to recognize similar strengths in the protester's proposal is sustained where the agency did not provide a meaningful explanation for differences in its assignment of strengths to the proposals. 3. Protest alleging that the protester's proposal warranted additional strengths under the problem statements factor is dismissed as untimely where the agency disclosed the lack of strengths in the debriefing and the protester first challenged the lack of strengths in its comments on the agency's report. 4. Protest alleging that the agency improperly made award to an offeror who required execution of binding arbitration agreements as a condition of employment is denied where there is no evidence that the protester was prejudiced by any alleged error.
