Agency Did Not Err in Considering the Ability of Proposed Key Person to Innovate Even Though “Innovation” Was Not a Specific Evaluation Criterion for the Position; COFC No. 16-775C, Tetra Tech, Inc. v. United States

Post-award bid protest challenging the agency’s evaluation of key personnel, past performance, and corporate experience is denied, where the solicitation reasonably put offerors on notice the agency would consider the ability of key personnel to innovate, even though it did not call out innovation as a specific criterion, and where the agency acted within its discretion in selecting which of the offerors’ contracts to evaluate under the past performance and corporate experience factors.
