          Decision


          Matter of: Myers Investigative and Security Services, Inc.

          File:        B-287949.2

          Date:        July 27, 2001

          Lawrence J. Sklute, Esq., Sklute & Associates, for the protester.
          Scarlett D. Grose, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
          Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest is sustained where agency chooses not to defend against the protest and
          effectively concedes that the challenged evaluation and selection decision were not
          properly done by acknowledging that no adequate documentation of the agency's
          actions exists.
          DECISION

          Myers Investigative and Security Services, Inc. protests the award of a 60-day
          bridge contract by the General Services Administration (GSA) to Industrial Loss
          Prevention, Inc. for guard services for federal buildings in the Lumberton, North
          Carolina area.

          We sustain the protest.

          By letter dated May 30, 2001, GSA requested proposals for guard services at various
          locations in Lumberton, North Carolina, for a 30-day base period, with one 30-day
          option period.' The letter did not explicitly state the basis for award, but requested
          that offerors provide prices only. Specifically, the letter called for offerors to furnish
          rates for productive hours, additional hours and supervisory hours, and a cost


          'GSA's solicitation here seeks guard services for an interim period during which GSA
          completes re-evaluation of offers for a state-wide contract for these services. That
          re-evaluation is the corrective action undertaken in response to an earlier protest
          filed by Myers, B-287648, challenging the award of the state-wide contract.
