Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has v v been approved for public release. Matter of: General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. File: B-421290; B-421290.2 Date: March 1, 2023 Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., Carla J. Weiss, Esq., Moshe B. Broder, Esq., Aime J. Joo, Esq., Jenner & Block LLP, for the protester. James Y. Boland, Esq., Kyle T. McCollum, Esq., and Emily R. Marcy, Esq., Venable LLP, for GovCIO, LLC, the intervenor. John C. Huebl, Esq., and Jennifer L. Claypool, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's proposal under the past performance and technical evaluation factors is sustained where the agency does not reasonably explain why the awardee's past performance and experience references were relevant, and where the agency improperly assigned a strength to the awardee's proposal regarding experience. 2. Protest challenging the evaluation of the protester's technical proposal is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation criteria. 3. Protest challenging the adequacy of the agency's documentation of its evaluations of the protester's and awardee's proposals is denied because an agency is not prohibited from assigning a strength or weakness in a consensus evaluation that was not first identified by an individual evaluator. 4. Protest challenging the agency's decision to issue a task order to the offeror that submitted a lower-priced, lower technically rated proposal is sustained where the evaluation relied on the unreasonable evaluation of the awardee's proposal under the past performance and technical evaluation factors.
