          File:        B-296699

          Date:        October 5, 2005

          Kenneth M. Bruntel, Esq., Elizabeth W. Newsom, Esq., Amy E. Laderberg, Esq.,
          J. Catherine Kunz, Esq., Edward R. Murray, Esq., and Jenny Kim, Esq., Crowell &

          Bradley, Arant, Rose & White, for InDyne, Inc., an intervenor.

          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest is sustained where, under solicitation requiring that offerors substantiate
          proposed initiatives to reduce staffing, agency applied a more exacting standard in
          evaluating adequacy of substantiation for protester's proposed initiatives than it did
          in evaluating awardee's substantiation.
          DECISION

          BAE Technical Services, Inc. protests the Department of the Air Force's award of a
          contract to InDyne, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA9200-05-R-0001,
          for operation and maintenance of the Eglin Test and Training Complex (ETTC) at
          Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. BAE challenges the evaluation of proposals.

          We sustain the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          of 4 years, with three 2-year option periods, to provide: engineering and technical
