Solicitation Clearly Stated Proposals Would be Evaluated Comparatively, Not on Pass/Fail Basis, B-413485, Kollsman Inc.

Protest that awardee’s proposal was ambiguous as to the identity of the offeror is denied where the awardee’s proposal clearly identified the offeror and its relationship to its parent company; and protest that the agency unreasonably credited the awardee with the past performance of an affiliated concern is denied, where the past performance examples were performed by the same concern identified for performance of the requirement; and protest that agency improperly gave awardee’s proposal more evaluation credit than given to the protester’s proposal is denied, where the solicitation clearly stated the agency would make a comparative evaluation of offerors’ proposed solutions and would rate superior proposals accordingly; and protest that the agency’s source selection decision improperly took into consideration a factor not identified in the solicitation’s evaluation criteria is denied, where the factor was considered in support of the adjectival rating of the awardee’s proposal but not considered in the tradeoff decision.
