handle is hein.gao/gaocrptajis0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: ACS Government Solutions Group, hie. File: B-282098; B-282098.2; B-282098.3 Date: June 2, 1999 Timothy B. Harris, Esq., for the protester. Frances Cox Lively, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly failed to evaluate offers consistent with instructions to offerors in solicitation for comprehensive loan servicing services is sustained where offerors were prohibited from proposing a solution that assumed that the agency would permit an electronic interface between the agency's and the successful offeror's data systems, and the record shows that the awardee's technical approach and price relied significantly on the existence of such an interface for performing the requirement. 2. Allegation that agency improperly evaluated the awardee's proposal under the prior experience evaluation factor is sustained where the solicitation contemplated the evaluation of corporate and key personnel experience separately, and the record contains no basis upon which the agency could reasonably have determined that the awardee's demonstrated corporate performance was, in accordance with the terms of the solicitation, the same as or similar to the solicitation requirements. 3. Allegation that discussions with protester were not meaningful is sustained where the record shows that the evaluators were concerned over the protester's pricing methodology and the source selection official shared that concern, but the protester was not afforded an opportunity during discussions to explain its pricing strategy. DECISION ACS Government Solutions Group, Inc. (ACS) protests the issuance of a task order to Deloitte & Touche (D&T) under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-DEN-00614, issued
