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.

Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging a contracting officer's affirmative determination of the awardee's responsibility is sustained where the record shows that the contracting officer failed to consider that the awardee's statements offered in the course of a second responsibility determination--that two affiliates implicated in criminal wrongdoing would not contribute to contract performance--contradicted the awardee's technical capability proposal, and failed to consider that two top officers of the awardee's parent company are employees of one of the affiliates implicated in criminal wrongdoing. 2. Protest that the agency conducted misleading discussions is sustained where, although the protester's total evaluated price was consistently lower than other offerors' prices, in each round of discussions the agency advised the protester that its total price seemed high. 3. Protest that agency failed to adequately document oral presentations and the related discussions is sustained where the record demonstrates that the agency did not maintain a record of the oral presentations adequate to permit meaningful review.
