handle is hein.gao/gaobadqjc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: SGAO Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: File: Date: Comptroller General 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. L ................................................................................................................. Gaver Technologies, Inc. B-409535 June 3, 2014 Ralph C. Thomas III, Esq., Barton, Baker, Thomas & Tolle, LLP, for the protester. Alexander T. Bakos, Esq., and Kaprice L. Harris, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is sustained where record shows that agency's source selection authority lacked a reasonable basis for failing to give weight to several source evaluation board findings pertaining to strengths in the protester's proposal. 2. Source selection authority's reliance upon awardee's offering of a 30-day phase- in period as a key discriminator in her source selection decision is unreasonable where awardee did not propose to complete phase-in within 30 days. DECISION Gaver Technologies, Inc. (GTI), of Frederick, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Peerless Technologies, Inc., of Fairborn, Ohio, under request for proposals (RFP) No. NNC1 3ZCH020J, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for professional, administrative, computational, and engineering (PACE) services for the Glenn Research Center's (GRC's) Lewis Field, in Cleveland, Ohio, and its associated facility, Plum Brook Station, in Sandusky, Ohio. The protester challenges the rationality of the source selection authority's (SSA) best value award decision. We sustain the protest.
