          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's determination that protester's proposal was technically
          unacceptable is sustained where the agency's determination that the proposal was
          unacceptable because it did not show that the protester itself met the solicitation's
          experience requirement--while its subcontractor clearly did--was inconsistent with
          the solicitation's evaluation scheme, which allowed offerors to meet experience
          requirements using the experience of properly-committed key employees or
          subcontractors.
          DECISION

          KIC Development, LLC protests the award of a contract to Legin Group, Inc. by the
          Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to request for
          proposals (RFP) No. R-ATL-01810, issued to procure lead evaluation services for
          single-family properties owned by HUD and located within specified geographic
          regions; the award at issue here is for lead evaluation services within HUD's Atlanta
          region. KIC argues that HUD unreasonably concluded that KIC's proposal was
          technically unacceptable.

          We sustain the protest.'


          'A related protest, brought by a different offeror and challenging HUD's award in the
          Denver region, was denied by our Office on January 5, 2006. See Prudent Techs.,
          Inc., B-297425, Jan. 5, 2006, 2006 CPD   _.
