         Matter of: Alutiiq-Banner Joint Venture

         File:       B-412952; B-412952.2; B-412952.3; B-412952.4

         Date:       July 15, 2016

         Richard B. Oliver, Esq., J. Matthew Carter, Esq., and Meghan D. Doherty, Esq.,
         Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for the protester.
         William A. Shook, Esq., Law Offices of William A. Shook PLLC, for CTRMG-GAPSI
         JV, LLC, the intervenor.
         James T. Mahoney, Esq., Alexander T. Bakos, Esq., and Cody L. Corley, Esq.,
         National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and John W. Klein, Esq., and
         Meagan K. Guerzon, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies.
         Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's past performance is sustained
         where agency unreasonably considered past performance by awardee for which
         there was no record of performance, contrary to the terms of the solicitation.

         2. Protest that agency improperly awarded 8(a) set-aside contract to ineligible joint
         venture is sustained where, although awardee was an approved 8(a) joint venture, it
         had not submitted an addendum to its joint venture agreement for approval by Small
         Business Administration (SBA), and thus SBA is rescinding its approval of
         awardee's eligibility.
         DECISION

         Alutiiq-Banner Joint Venture (ABJV), of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the award of a
         contract to CTRMG-GAPSl JV, LLC (CGJV), of Fairfax, Virginia, by the National
         Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. NNJ1 5541361 R for human resources support services for the human resources
         office at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, in Houston, Texas. ABJV argues
         that NASA misevaluated the proposals, and that CTRMG-GAPSl JV was ineligible
         for award.


We sustain the protest.
