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 version has been 1approved for public release. Matter of: Peraton Inc. File: B-416916.8; B-416916.9; B-416916.10 Date: August 3, 2020 J. Scott Hommer III, Esq., Rebecca E. Pearson, Esq., Emily A. Unnasch, Esq., Christopher G. Griesedieck, Esq., and Taylor A. Hillman, Esq., Venable LLP, for the protester. Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Brian G. Walsh, Esq., Cara L. Lasley, Esq., Lindy C. Bathurst, Esq., and Nicholas L. Perry, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc., the intervenor. Tudo N. Pham, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Michael Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency corrective action is sustained where agency decided to reopen discussions to allow offerors to revise their proposals to substitute key personnel, but limited proposal revisions only to key personnel resumes, letters of commitment, and a portion of a single staffing plan template. The agency's corrective action is unreasonably limited in its scope because the solicitation required proposal sections to align and the record demonstrates that the substitution of key personnel would materially impact other aspects of the protester's proposal that it is not permitted to change and would effectively require the protester to submit a materially inconsistent proposal. DECISION Peraton, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, protests the scope of the agency's corrective action following its prior protest of the issuance of a task order to ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, under solicitation No. 19AQMM18R0065. The task order was issued through the National Institutes of Health CIO-SP3 governmentwide acquisition contract, for server and software deployment services for the Department of State's (DOS) Office of Consular Systems and Technology. Peraton argues that agency's corrective action is unreasonably restrictive. We sustain the protest.
