           DIGEST

           Protest of an agency's reevaluation of proposals is sustained where the record
           shows that the agency failed to evaluate the awardee's proposal in accordance with
           the solicitation's evaluation criteria.
           DECISION

           ASRC Communications, Ltd. (ASRC), of Beltsville, Maryland, protests the award of
           a contract to Aleut O&M Services LLC, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, under
           request for proposals (RFP) No. FA2521-13-R-0019, issued by the Department of
           the Air Force for operations, mission support and facilities/infrastructure
           maintenance and sustainment at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape
           Canaveral, Florida. ASRC challenges the Air Force's reevaluation of Aleut's
           proposal and subsequent award decision.

           We sustain the protest.
