DIGEST
1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of corporate experience is denied where
the protester has not demonstrated that the agency's evaluation was unreasonable or
inconsistent with the solicitation's terms.
2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of key personnel is sustained where the
record reflects that the agency engaged in disparate treatment, and the error was
prejudicial to the protester.
DECISION
Sparksoft Corporation, of Columbia, Maryland, protests the issuance of a task order to
Titania Solutions Group Inc. (TSG), of McLean, Virginia, under request for proposals
(RFP) No. 240296, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to provide the CMS Center for Clinical

protester challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals and resulting award decision.

We sustain the protest.
