Agency’s Mistake Documenting Protester’s Past Performance Questionnaire Rating Results In Flawed Evaluation and Source Selection Decision; GAO B-414650.11, VariQ Corporation

Protest challenging the agency’s award of a task order is sustained, where the awardee failed to demonstrate that its proposed team lead met the education and expertise requirements, where the agency’s evaluation of the protester’s past performance relied on information that was marred by the agency’s typographical errors, and where the agency failed to assign substantial strengths equally to the awardee and protester based on aspects of their proposals that offered similar benefits to performance.
