Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States 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: ITility, LLC File: B-421871.3; B-421871.4 Date: May 3, 2024 Daniel J. Strouse, Esq., Pablo Nichols, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., Rhina Cardenal, Esq., and Jason W. Moy, Esq., Cordatis LLP, for the protester. Eric M. Steinberg, Esq., and John C. Dohn II, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the assignment of a positive rating to the awardee's proposal is sustained where the agency failed to respond to the allegation that the assignment of the positive was unreasonable. 2. Protest that the agency failed to identify discriminators between the proposals is sustained where the agency performed an evaluation of the acceptability of the offerors' proposals under two factor elements instead of conducting a qualitative evaluation of the proposals, as required under the solicitation. DECISION ITility, LLC, of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Integrated Finance and Accounting Solutions, LLC (IFAS), of Washington, DC, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 70RWMD23ROO000003, issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to obtain financial and program management support services in support of DHS's countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) office. The protester asserts that the agency's evaluation of technical proposals was unreasonable and that the agency thus conducted a flawed best-value tradeoff analysis. We sustain the protest.
