Matter of:   ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc.

File:        B-416734

Date:        November 27, 2018

Stuart B. Nibley, Esq., Amy Conant Hoang, Esq., and Erica L. Bakies, Esq., K&L Gates
LLP, for the protester.
Douglas J. Becker, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency.
Todd C. Culliton, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest is denied where the agency reasonably evaluated quotations as consistent
with the solicitation criteria.

2. Protest is sustained where the agency unequally evaluated quotations when both the
protester and awardee did not propose retention techniques focused on cleared
personnel but only the protester's quotation was evaluated as having a weakness on
that basis.

3. Protest is denied where the agency reasonably made its source selection decision in
accordance with the source selection decision methodology as provided for in the
solicitation.
DECISION

ManTech Advanced Systems International, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, protests the
issuance of a blanket purchase agreement against the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)
to SRA International, Inc., of Chantilly, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No.
70CMSD18Q00000016, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, for operations support services. ManTech
alleges that the agency unreasonably and unequally evaluated quotations and
improperly made its source selection decision.


We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
