Agency Improperly Allowed Awardee to Provide Missing CLIN Pricing Without Opening Discussions; GAO B-412503.8, Global Language Center

Protest alleging the agency engaged in unequal discussions is sustained, where the agency improperly allowed the awardee to provide missing prices after the submission of final proposal revisions; and protest challenging the agency’s past performance evaluation is sustained, where the agency ignored information in the protester’s proposal demonstrating it had performed work similar to the current requirement, while simultaneously crediting the awardee for references unrelated to the requirement’s scope or value.
