Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that source selection decision was unreasonable on the basis that there was inadequate information in the record to support the agency's rationale for the decision is denied where, notwithstanding the lack of contemporaneous documentation supporting the source selection itself, contracting officer furnished a post-protest narrative explanation of the rationale for her decision, which was consistent with contemporaneous evaluation documentation and otherwise credible. DECISION Simborg Development, Inc. protests the award of a lease to Ilighwoods Properties, Inc. under solicitation for offers (SFO) No. 8FL0209, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for office and related space in Jacksonville, Florida. Simborg principally argues that there is inadequate documentation in the record to support the reasonableness of the source selection. We deny the protest.
