Protests challenging the agency's evaluation of technical quotations are sustained where the record shows that the agency applied unstated evaluation criteria in the evaluation under the key personnel experience and past performance evaluation factors, and where the agency did not adequately document the basis for assigning adjectival ratings for the technical evaluation. 2. Protest challenging the agency's decision to award to a vendor whose quotation failed to include a letter of commitment for its proposed key personnel is denied where the solicitation did not state that such an omission would render a quotation unacceptable. 3. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of a protester's price quotation is sustained where the agency concedes making an error which resulted in that protester improperly being eliminated from award consideration. 4. Protest challenging the agency's best-value decision is sustained where the solicitation called for a best-value tradeoff and the award decision did not explain why higher-priced, higher technically rated quotations were worth a price premium as compared to lower-priced, lower technically rated quotations.
