Washington, D.C. 20548

Decision


Matter of: Intown Properties, Inc.

File:       B-262236.2; B-262237.2

Date:       January 18, 1996

Melton Harrell for the protester.
Arnette L. Georges, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the
agency.
John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Agency unreasonably evaluated protester's best and final offer (BAFO) submitted in
response to solicitations for real estate acquisition management services where the
protester, in response to discussions informing the protester that certain of its
personnel were not considered qualified, proposed different personnel in its BAFO,
but the agency did not consider this when determining the protester's low-priced
BAFO to be unacceptable.
DECISION

Intown Properties, Inc. protests the award of two contracts to Asset Management
Specialist, Inc., (AMS) under request for proposals (RFP) Nos. H02R95064000000
(RFP-40) and H02R95064100000 (RFP-41), issued by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) for real estate acquisition management (REAM)
services. Intown, the incumbent contractor under RFP-40, argues that the agency's
evaluation of its proposal and the selection of AMS for the awards were
unreasonable.

We sustain the protests.

The RFPs provided for the awards of firm, fixed-price, indefinite quantity contracts
for the performance of REAM services in the city of Camden (RFP-40), and Camden
(excluding the city of Camden), Burlington, Mercer, and Gloucester counties, New
Jersey (RFP-41).1 The contractor(s) under the RFPs will be responsible for
preserving and protecting single family properties owned or in the custody of HUD
and located in these areas until the units are sold to the public or accepted by
nonprofit organizations.


1The RFPs are identical except for the different geographic locations.
