DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
The decision issued on the date below was subject to
Decision                           a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has
been approved for public release.
Matter of: Addx Corporation
File:     B-417804; B-417804.2; B-417804.3
Date:     November 5, 2019
Lee Dougherty, Esq., Effectus, PLLC, for the protester.
Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of transition plan, benefit/compensation
plan, and management plan factors is denied where the contemporaneous record is
sufficient to show that the agency was concerned with the lack of detail provided in the
protester's proposal.
2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the protester's past performance is
sustained where the record shows that the agency applied an unstated evaluation
criterion, and unreasonably evaluated the responses provided in past performance
questionnaires.
3. Protest is sustained where the agency failed to perform and document any analysis
that considered the protester's lower proposed cost in its decision to eliminate the
protester's proposal from the competition.
DECISION
Addx Corporation, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business of Alexandria,
Virginia, protests its elimination from the competition conducted by the Department of
the Army, Army Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal, under task order request for
proposals (TORFP) No. W911 W6-19-R-0010 for professional and technical system
support services for the Army's Special Operations Mission Planning and Execution
(SOMPE) program. The protester contends that the agency's evaluation of proposals
was unreasonable and disparate, and that the agency improperly eliminated Addx's
proposal from the competition.

We sustain the protest.
