This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Chemical Demilitarization Associates File: B-277700 Date: November 13, 1997 Rand L. Allen, Esq., Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Scott M. McCaleb, Esq., Kevin J. Maynard, Esq., and David A. Vogel, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for the protester. Thomas J. Madden, Esq., John Pavlick, Jr., Esq., Jerome S. Gabig, Jr., Esq., and Paul N.

McGuire, Esq., Department of the Army, 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 The agency's source selection decision finding proposals equivalent under every individual evaluation criterion under technical and management, the two most important evaluation areas, and basing the selection on a trade-off between past performance and cost/price, cannot be determined reasonable where the evaluation record reflects differences in the merit of competing technical proposals and the agency's rationale for finding the proposals equivalent under every criterion is not supported by the record. DECISION Chemical Demilitarization Associates (CDA), a joint venture of EG&G, Inc. and Morrison Knudsen, protests an award to Raytheon Demilitarization Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAA09-92-R-0351, issued by the Department of the Army, Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command (AMCCOM), Rock Island, Illinois, for construction, equipment installation, systemization, operation and closure of the Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (PBCDF), Arkansas. CDA alleges that the source selection decision is unreasonable. We sustain the protest. Demilitarization facilities for destroying chemical weapons have been or will be constructed and operated at nine sites where the weapons are located. A contract for the prototype chemical demilitarization facility was awarded in 1986 to Raytheon
