         Matter of:   Delfasco, LLC

         File:        B-409514.3

         Date:        March 2, 2015

         David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., Gabriel E. Kennon, Esq.,
         Daniel Strouse, Esq., and Amy J. Spencer, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the
         protester.
         Debra J. Talley, Esq., Susan Allison-Hiebert, Esq., and Larry D. Manecke, Esq.,
         Department of the Army, for the agency.
         Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the relevancy of the awardee's
         past performance is sustained, where the agency's assessment of the past
         performance was inconsistent with the definitions in the solicitation and otherwise
         unsupported.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's conduct of discussions is sustained, where the
         agency misled the protester as to the weaknesses that remained in its proposal, so
         as to deprive it of an opportunity to address and resolve in its final proposal revision
         six remaining evaluated weaknesses.
         DECISION

         Delfasco, LLC, of Greeneville, Tennessee, protests the award of a contract to GTI
         Systems, Inc., of Auburndale, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. W52P1J-12-R-0147, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Contracting
         Command, for two types of practice bombs and a suspension lug (used for
         attaching bombs to fixed-wing and rotary aircraft). The protester challenges the
         agency's evaluation of the offerors' past performance and conduct of discussions.


We sustain the protest.
