This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Ridoc Enterprises, Inc./Myers Investigative & Security Services, Inc. File: B-293045.2 Date: July 26, 2004 Lawrence J.

Glass, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's implementation of voluntary corrective action in response to an earlier protest filed with the Government Accountability Office is sustained where the agency failed to conduct discussions with all of the offerors whose proposals the contracting officer determined to be in the competitive range. DECISION Ridoc Enterprises, Inc./Myers Investigative & Security Services, Inc. protests the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) award of a contract to Eagle Technologies, Inc. for security guard services at EPA facilities in North Carolina under request for proposals (RFP) No. PR-NC-03-10224. The protester contends that the agency misevaluated Ridoc's proposal and improperly conducted discussions with Eagle without conducting discussions with Ridoc. We sustain the protest. The RFP, issued on April 28, 2003, provided for the award of a fixed-price contract for a base year with four 1-year option periods. The solicitation provided for award to the offeror whose proposal was the most advantageous to the government considering price and other factors. The RFP further provided that all of the evaluation factors, other than price, when combined, were significantly more important than price. RFP § M.4.
