This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: U.S. Property Management Service Corporation File: B-278727 Date: March 6, 1998 Barbara A. Duncombe, Esq., and Richard A. Maresca, Esq., Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur, for the protester. Thomas P. Cassidy, Esq., Duane, Morris & Heckscher LLP, for Ernie Stefkovic Associates, Inc., an intervenor. Shari Weaver, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. Christine F. Davis, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency unequally evaluated the experience of the protester and the awardee, where both firms were newly formed corporations, yet the agency did not downgrade the awardee's proposal, as it did the protester's, for not evidencing significant corporate experience, but considered the experience of the awardee's proposed key personnel to determine the awardee's proposal to be superior in experience, but did not do so with regard to the protester's proposed personnel. DECISION U.S. Property Management Service Corporation protests the award of a contract to Ernie Stefkovic Associates, Inc. (ESA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. H03R96015600000, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for real estate asset management (REAM) services for single- family properties owned by HUD in its District of Columbia Office jurisdiction. We sustain the protest. HUD issued the RFP on July 24, 1996, as a total small business set-aside for the acquisition of management and other related services. The RFP contemplated a fixed-price, indefinite quantity contract for a base year with 2 option years. RFP §§ B.2, B.3. The RFP stated that HUD anticipated an inventory on the effective date of award to include approximately 850 to 900 properties. RFP § L at 182. The RFP provided for award based on a cost/technical tradeoff and stated that the combined weight of the technical evaluation factors was more significant than price
