DIGEST
1. Protest challenging the agency's failure to evaluate the awardee's professional
compensation plan for realism in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation
provision 52.222-46 is dismissed as untimely where the solicitation advised that the
agency would not conduct a realism analysis of any kind and the protester did not
challenge the terms of the solicitation until after the receipt of initial proposals.
2. Protest challenging the agency's failure to compare the awardee's proposed
professional compensation to the incumbent contractor's employee compensation is
sustained where the record does not demonstrate that the agency conducted an
evaluation in accordance with the requirements of Federal Acquisition Regulation
provision 52.222-46 despite the offerors having submitted professional compensation
plans.
