Matter of:   Information Systems and Networks Corporation

File:        B-415720.3; B-415720.4

Date:        April 30, 2018

Steven J. Koprince, Esq., Matthew P. Moriarty, Esq., Matthew T. Schoonover, Esq., and
Ian P. Patterson, Esq., Koprince Law, LLC, for the protester.
Steven Thaler, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency.
Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest that agency misevaluated protester's and awardee's proposals is denied where
evaluation reasonably identified multiple significant weaknesses in protester's proposal,
where differences in evaluation of protester and awardee did not reflect unequal
treatment, and where aspects of the evaluation that were unreasonable did not result in
competitive prejudice to the protester.
DECISION

Information Systems and Networks Corporation (ISN), of Bethesda, Maryland, a small
business, protests the award of a contract to Colliers International Greater Los Angeles,
Inc., of Los Angeles, California, under request for proposals (RFP) No. USMS0061-17,
issued by the Department of Justice, United States Marshals Service (USMS),1 for
services to plan for, manage, and dispose of real property assets seized by or forfeited
to agencies of the Department of Justice. ISN primarily argues that the agency
misevaluated the proposals and, as a result, made an unreasonable source selection
decision.

We deny the protest.



1 The RFP identified the contracting agency as Federal Prison Industries, UNICOR,
and the parties identify the agency as both Federal Prison Industries and USMS. RFP
at 1. We refer to the agency as USMS for the sake of simplicity.
