DIGEST

Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's quotation under the technical
understanding factor is sustained where the agency's evaluation documentation was
inadequate to support the reasonableness of the agency's evaluation.
DECISION

Cadre5, LLC, a small business of Knoxville, Tennessee, protests the issuance of a task
order to Tripoint Solutions LLC (Tripoint), a small business of Arlington, Virginia, under
request for quotations (RFQ) No. 89233123RNA000168  issued by the Department of
Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), for Agile software
development  support services. Cadre5 argues that the agency's evaluation of technical
quotations and best-value tradeoff analysis are unreasonable.

We  sustain the protest.

BACKGROUND

NNSA's  program management   information system generation 2 (G2) project builds,
maintains, and enhances the G2 system, which is used across the agency to manage
its annual appropriations for mission activities by providing program and performance
management   information to the agency and its subordinate organizations. Agency
