Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: SecuriFense Inc. File: B-421818.2; B-421818.3; B-421818.4 Date: October 23, 2023 Jeremy D. Burkhart, Esq., Ronald Perlman, Esq., and Danielle Rich, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for the protester. Edward Tolchin, Esq., Offit Kurman, for DarkStar Intelligence, LLC, the intervenor. Jason R. Hull, Esq., Max D. Houtz, Esq., William S. Whitman, Esq., and Darren S. Gilkes, Esq., Defense Intelligence Agency, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency treated vendors unequally is sustained where awardee and protester had similar responses to questions during oral presentations, but the agency found that only protester's responses resulted in decreased confidence in the protester's ability to perform the delivery order. 2. Protest that agency applied an unstated evaluation criterion is sustained where agency assessed decreased confidence to an aspect of the protester's quotation based on a failure to address audiovisual and multimedia tasks, which was not required by the solicitation's evaluation criteria. DECISION SecuriFense, Inc., of Hendersonville, North Carolina, protests the issuance of a delivery order to DarkStar Intelligence, LLC, of Woodbridge, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HHM402-23-R-0040, issued by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for joint counterintelligence training activity missions support services. SecuriFense asserts that the agency unreasonably evaluated its and DarkStar's quotations. We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
