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: IT Objects, LLC File: B-418012; B-418012.2 Date: January 2, 2020 John R. Tolle, Esq., and H. Todd Whay, Esq., Baker, Cronogue, Tolle & Werfel, LLP, for the protester. Ryan C. Bradel, Esq., and Miles McCann, Esq., Ward & Berry PLLC, for Ahtna RDI JV, LLC, the intervenor. James Rhodes, Esq., Department of Commerce, for the agency. Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's award decision is sustained where the awardee's proposal did not provide a letter of commitment for an individual proposed for a key personnel position, as required by the solicitation, and thus failed to satisfy a material solicitation requirement. DECISION IT Objects, LLC (ITO), a small business concern located in Herndon, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Ahtna RDI, JV, LLC (ARJV), a small business located in Anchorage, Alaska, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 1305M319RNFFS0008, issued by the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), for information technology services including software development and systems administration, for the Alaska Region of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The protester alleges that the awardee materially misrepresented the availability of key personnel in its proposal. The protester also argues that the awardee's proposal failed to comply with the solicitation's requirements, and that the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation. We sustain the protest.
