Matter of: Ogden Support Services, Inc.

File:        B-270012.2

Date:        March 19, 1996

Ronald K. Henry, Esq., and Mark A. Riordan, Esq., Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays &
Handler, for the protester.
Dennis J. Riley, Esq., and Joseph G. Billings, Esq., Riley & Artabane, P.C., for
American Systems Corporation, the intervenor.
Diane Florkowski, Esq., Central Intelligence Agency, for the agency.
Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Agency's technical evaluation, and source selection based upon that evaluation, was
not found reasonable because the agency evaluated the protester's and awardee's
proposals nearly identically under the solicitation's past performance evaluation
factor without the record containing sufficient information and analysis to establish
equality.
DECISION

Ogden Support Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to American Systems
Corporation (ASC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 95-W001, issued by the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Office of Information Technology, for mail and
courier support services. Ogden challenges the agency's evaluation of technical and
cost proposals, conduct of discussions, and source selection decision.

We sustain the protest.

The RFP provided for the award of a cost-plus-award-fee, level-of-effort (LOE)
contract for mail and courier support services for a base period of June 1, 1995, to
September 30, 1995, with 2 priced option years and 2 unpriced option years. The
RFP's statement of work (SOW) informed offerors that the required total level of
effort was 22 full-time persons per year and that contractors would provide
personnel to work a standard 40-hour workweek, consisting of 5 consecutive duty
days and 8-hour shifts. Offerors were also informed that contractor personnel
would not normally be required to work overtime, weekends, or federal holidays,
