Matter of: ASRC Federal Data Network Technologies, LLC
File:     B-419519.4
Date:     September 19, 2022
Amy L. O'Sullivan, Esq., Zachary Schroeder, Esq., and William B. O'Reilly, Esq.,
Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester.
Robert K. Tompkins, Esq., Hillary J. Freund, Esq., Kelsey M. Hayes, Esq., and Sean R.

the intervenor.

the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
1. Protest that awardee failed to notify the agency that proposed key personnel were
unavailable is denied where the record contains no evidence that the awardee had
actual knowledge of the alleged unavailability.
2. Errors in an agency's past performance evaluation do not provide a basis to sustain
a protest where the errors did not affect the agency's best-value tradeoff decision and
therefore did not competitively prejudice the protester.
DECISION
ASRC Federal Data Network Technologies, a small business of Reston, Virginia,
protests the award of a contract to Bowhead Total Enterprise Solutions, LLC, a small
business of Springfield, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912DY-19-R-
0001, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for
integrated technical services in support of the agency's High Performance Computing
Modernization Program. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of the
awardee's past performance and argues that the agency's award decision erroneously
relied on the awardee's key personnel who became unavailable prior to award.

We deny the protest.
