Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency failed to engage in adequate discussions and misevaluated proposals under a task order competition is sustained where the record shows that (1) agency identified two concerns with protester's proposal which led to its No Go rating but these concerns were not brought to the protester's attention during discussions; and (2) that agency evaluated the current contract performance evaluation factor in a manner that was inconsistent with the terms of the underlying contracts' stated evaluation scheme. DECISION Mission Essential Personnel, LLC (MEP), of Columbus. Ohio, protests the issuance of two task orders to L-3 STRATIS, of Tampa, Florida, under task order request for proposals (RFP) Nos. 12-04 and 12-05, issued by the Department of the Army, to acquire intelligence support services in Afghanistan. MEP maintains that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposals and failed to engage in adequate discussions. We sustain the protests.
