This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Alion Science & Technology Corporation File: B-294159; B-294159.2 Date: September 10, 2004 L. James D'Agostino, Esq., Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., David T. Hickey, Esq., and Natalia W. Geren, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, for the protester. Scott M. McCaleb, Esq., Kevin J. Maynard, Esq., and Derek A. Yeo, Esq., Wiley Rein & Fielding, for Anteon Corporation, an intervenor. Lee W. Crook, III, Esq., and Erica V. Stigall, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained where solicitation indicated that agency desired quotations not only for eight enumerated positions, but also for unspecified additional support and where vendors provided technical and price quotations for widely varying levels of additional support; contracting officer had apparently intended additional support to be addressed in technical, not price, section of quotations. Record indicates that solicitation may not accurately reflect agency's needs and its lack of clarity resulted in uncertainty about the total cost of each vendor's approach. DECISION Alion Science & Technology Corporation protests the issuance of a task order to Anteon Corporation by the General Services Administration (GSA) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. PPM5740005T6 for the United States Army stability and support operations training program at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.' Alion argues that the contracting officer's evaluation of vendors' quotations was inconsistent with the terms of the RFQ, and that Alion's quotation represented the best value. Alternatively, Alion argues that the RFQ did not accurately state the Army's staffing needs. ' GSA conducted this acquisition on behalf of the Army.
