This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: AttainX, Inc. File: B-421216; B-421216.2 Date: January 23, 2023 Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., Lauren R. Brier, Esq., and Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Elizabeth N. Jochum, Esq., Samarth Barot, Esq., and Amanda C.

Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the experience of the awardee, an 8(a) small business joint venture, is sustained where the evaluation is inconsistent with small business regulations requiring agencies to consider the experience of the individual members of the joint venture if the joint venture itself does not demonstrate experience. 2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the awardee's price quotation is sustained. The record shows that the agency miscalculated the number of full-time equivalent staff in the awardee's price quotation and used this incorrect number to evaluate whether the awardee's staffing level was realistic. In addition, the record fails to show that the agency resolved identified risks in the awardee's price quotation. 3. Protest that the agency misevaluated quotations and made an unreasonable award decision is sustained where record fails to show that agency had a reasonable basis for its evaluation of quotations.
