handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadye0001 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-270354.2 Date: October 29, 1996 Ronald K Henry, Esq., and Mark A. Riordan, Esq., Kaye, Scholer, Fierman, Hays & Handler, for the protester. Joel Feidelman, Esq., James J. McCullough, Esq., and Catherine E. Pollack, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for SSI Services, Inc., the intervenor. Lisa Miller, Esq., Central Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that proposal was misevaluated is denied where the record shows that the evaluated weaknesses were reasonable and consistent with the evaluation factors. DECISION Ogden Support Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to SSI Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. 95-Z06, issued by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for operations and maintenance services at the CIA Headquarters Compound, Langley, Virginia, and at 13 facilities in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Ogden contends that the evaluations and source selection decision were unreasonable. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. The agency previously awarded a contract to SSI under this RFP. Ogden, the incumbent contractor, protested the award on a number of grounds. Our Office sustained that protest in Ogden Support Servs., Inc., B-270354, Feb. 28, 1996, 96-1 CPD T 175, on the basis that the CIA failed to conduct meaningful discussions. Our decision also noted other problems with the procurement: the RFP did not disclose the relative evaluation weight of cost, and the evaluation documentation did not support the technical ratings. We recommended that the agency amend the solicitation, reopen discussions with the competitive range offerors, request revised best and final offers (BAFO), and make a new source selection decision based upon the evaluation of the revised BAFOs. 31847
