         Matter of: Alutiiq Pacific, LLC

         File:        B-409584; B-409584.2

         Date:        June 18, 2014

         Richard B. Oliver, Esq., and J. Matthew Carter, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge
         LLP, for the protester.
         William A. Roberts, III, Esq., John R. Prairie, Esq., and Nooree Lee, Esq., Wiley
         Rein LLP, for Bowhead Professional Solutions, LLC, an intervenor.
         Debra J. Talley, Esq., and Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., Department of the Army,
         U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency.
         Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that agency misevaluated proposals is sustained where agency
         improperly credited awardee with experience arising from contracts performed by
         two affiliated concerns, even though the record shows the proposal does not clearly
         detail or explain how the affiliated concerns will contribute meaningfully to contract
         performance, as required by solicitation.

         2. Protest that agency unreasonably credited awardee with offering to furnish large
         proportion of incumbent staff is sustained, where record shows that agency's
         evaluation failed to take into consideration the fact the awardee was proposing
         compensation for a majority of the incumbent staff that is substantially below what
         the incumbent proposes to pay the same staff.

         3. Protest that agency disparately assigned strengths to proposals during its
         evaluation is sustained where record shows that agency assigned different number
         of strengths to awardee's and protester's proposals for offering essentially the same
         feature.
         DECISION

         Alutiiq Pacific, LLC (AP), of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the award of a contract to
         Bowhead Professional Solutions, LLC, (BPS) of Alexandria, Virginia, under request
         for proposals (RFP) No. W9124P-1 3-R-0009, issued by the Department of the Army
