B-270012.4 1 (1996-10-03)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadvx0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE A protected decision was issued on the date below and was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of. Ogden Support Services, Inc. File: B-270012.4 Date: October 3, 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., an intervenor. Diane Florkowski, Esq., Central Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency had no reasonable basis to give a near perfect score for past performance to the proposal of the awardee of a contract for mail courier services where the record reflects the awardee had limited past performance in this area while the protester's proposal, with clearly superior past performance, was given only a slightly higher score. 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 services. We sustain the protest. This award was the subject of our decision in Ogden Support Servs., Inc., B-270012.2, Mar. 19, 1996, 96-1 CPD 177, in which we sustained Ogden's protest against the award to ASC on the basis that the high evaluation rating of ASC's past performance was unsupported and thus the determination that ASC's and Ogden's proposals were technically equal, upon which the selection of ASC's lower evaluated cost proposal was based, was not justified. Specifically, we found that the record contained insufficient information and analysis justifying ASC's near perfect rating for past performance because ASC's proposal reflected only limited experience in mail and courier and/or similar administrative support services. 533109
