Agency Reasonably Evaluates Combined Corporate Experience of Joint Venture Members Differently than Prime and Subcontractors; GAO B-414749 et al, Addx Corporation

Protest challenging the agency’s evaluation of corporate experience is denied, where the agency reasonably treated the members of a joint venture as one entity for the purpose of the evaluation, and properly did not consider the experience of the protester’s subcontractors; and protest arguing the agency should not have used its own knowledge to supply information missing from the awardee’s staffing proposal is denied, where the agency may properly use information that is close at hand.
