GAO Backs Protest Over Intelligence Agency s $180M IT Deal
Law360 (April 1, 2021, 9:09 PM EDT) The U.S. Government Accountability Office has sustained an information technology firm s protest over a $180.2 million National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency IT contract, saying the agency unreasonably evaluated the proposals of both the protester and the winning bidder.
The NGA should have given higher marks to aspects of TekSynap Corp. s proposal for the deal, and also mistakenly let slide an deficiency involving a key staff member of winning bidder Chenega Agile Real-Time Solutions LLC, the GAO ruled in a March 19 decision that was released Wednesday.
Army to rethink awards for $800M engineering contract
It appears that a group of small businesses may have had a point in their complaint that the Army reneged on a pledge to include small business winners on the $800 million TEIS IV contract.
The solicitation included clear indications of the Army’s desire to pick at least two small businesses as primes on the Total Engineering and Integration Services contract. But the service only made awards to the three incumbents from TEIS III General Dynamics IT, NCI Information Systems and Science Applications International Corp.
MC Dean, TekSynap Corp. and IAP Worldwide Services then filed protests with the Government Accountability Office. A fourth company apparently filed an agency-level protest as well.
