Matter of:   Datapath, Inc.

File:     B-419323.3; B-419323.4

Date:     January 15,   2021

Lee Dougherty, Esq., and Everett Dougherty, Esq., Effectus, PLLC, for the protester.
Richard J. Conway, Esq., and Michael J. Slattery, Esq., Blank Rome LLP, for
Envistacom, LLC, the intervenor.
Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., and Jennifer A. Janulewicz, Esq., Department of the Army,
for the agency.
Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

1. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's and successful vendor's past
performance is denied where record demonstrated that the evaluation was reasonable
and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.

2. Protest that agency's past performance evaluation reflected disparate treatment is
denied where the record did not demonstrate that the protester's past performance
record was equivalent to the successful vendor's.
DECISION

Datapath, Inc., of Duluth, Georgia, protests the issuance of a task order to
Envistacom, LLC, of Atlanta, Georgia, under request for task execution plans (RTEP)
No. W15P7T-20-F-9108,   issued by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel
Command,   under the Global Tactical Advanced Communication Systems II (GTACS II)
multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, for operation,
maintenance, and sustainment services for several communication systems and
networks, including tactical and strategic antenna systems. Datapath contends that the
Army  misevaluated both firms' task execution plans (TEP) under the past performance
factor, engaged in disparate treatment, and made an unreasonable source selection
decision.


We  deny the protest.
