DIGEST

Agency's decision to award to a higher-priced, higher-rated offeror is unreasonable
where the information concerning the cognizant technical evaluation board's
conclusions regarding relative merits of the proposals provided to the source
selection official on which he based his award decision was inaccurate and the
discriminators used to differentiate proposals were not supported by the evaluation
record.
DECISION

New Breed Leasing Corporation protests the award of a contract to LBM, Inc. under
request for proposals (RFP) No. N68931-93-R-9618, issued by the Department of the
Navy for transportation operations and maintenance services. New Breed argues
that the agency's award selection was unreasonable and not in accord with the
evaluation criteria.

We sustain the protest.

The RFP, issued on April 15, 1994, provided for the award of a combination firm,
fixed-price award fee/indefinite quantity contract for a 5-year period. The awardee
will provide, among other things, motor pool and dispatch services, bus and taxi
service, fuel operations, vehicle maintenance and repair, towing services, road and
runway sweeping, and related environmental and administrative support services at
three Navy installations in the Jacksonville, Florida area.
