DIGEST

1. Protest challenging evaluation of proposals is denied where the record demonstrates
that the evaluation was reasonable, consistent with the solicitation, and did not result
from unequal treatment of proposals.

2. Protest alleging that awardee gained an unfair competitive advantage based on
employment  of a former government official is denied where the record shows that the
individual did not have access to non-public, competitively useful information and was
not involved in the drafting of the solicitation or the awardee's proposal.
DECISION

Parsons Government  Services Inc., of Centreville, Virginia, protests the issuance of a
task order to ManTech Advanced Systems  International, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia,
under task order request (TOR) No. 47QFCA24R0006,  issued by the General Services
Administration (GSA) for intelligence and cyber operations solutions and services for
multiple projects in support of the Department of Defense's (DOD) National Security
Innovation Network (NSIN) and NSIN's mission partner network. The protester
contends that the agency improperly evaluated proposals, performed an unreasonable
best-value tradeoff, and failed to properly consider whether ManTech had an unfair
competitive advantage due to the hiring of a former government official.
