Matter of:   Leidos Innovations Corporation

File:        B-417568.3; B-417568.4

Date:        May 11, 2020

Shelly L. Ewald, Esq., and Emily C. Brown, Esq., Watt Tieder Hoffar & Fitzgerald, LLP,
for the protester.
Scott F. Lane, Esq., Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., Edward W. Gray, Jr., Esq., and
Jayna M. Rust, Esq., Thompson Coburn LLP, for the intervenor.
Matthew R. Wilson, Esq., Andy K. Hughes, Esq., and Valerie H. Mullaley, Esq.,
Department of the Army, for the agency.
Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest is sustained where agency unreasonably excluded portions of offerors'
proposals from consideration and, similarly, excluded the awardee's responses to
questions that were relevant to the agency's prior assessment of risk in the awardee's
proposed approach, despite the solicitation's requirements that the excluded information
be considered.
DECISION

Leidos Innovations Corporation, of Reston, Virginia, protests the Department of the
Army's issuance of a task order to DynCorp International LLC, pursuant to fair
opportunity proposal request (FOPR) No. A-MD530_0001, to provide logistics support
services for MD530F rotary wing aircraft in Afghanistan. Leidos protests the agency's
failure to comply with various solicitation provisions, including provisions regarding
communications with offerors and the evaluation of proposals.

We sustain the protest.

BACKGROUND

In April 2018, the agency awarded eight indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)
contracts to provide logistics support services for non-standard rotary wing aircraft;
Leidos and DynCorp were each awarded one of the IDIQ contracts.
