DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's past experience, for a contract
awarded to a joint venture, is denied where the agency reasonably credited the work
performed to a member of the joint venture.

2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's past experience is sustained
where the agency waived a material requirement without providing notice to all vendors,
and such waiver resulted in competitive prejudice to the protester.

3. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation of solicitation responses is denied
where the agency evaluated vendors reasonably and in accordance with the evaluation
scheme.
DECISION

AlliantCorps, LLC, a small business located in San Antonio, Texas, protests the
issuance of a task order to SBD Alliant, LLC, a small business located in Vienna,
Virginia, under task order request (TOR) No. ID07180004, issued by the General
Services Administration (GSA) for network sustainment and deployment support to the
military health system both inside and outside the United States. The protester alleges
that the agency unreasonably evaluated the TOR responses.


We sustain the protest in part and deny the protest in part.
