Follow up to June 18, 2008 posting, GAO Sustains Boeing Bid Protest, the GAO Bid Protest Decision (The decision was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release.)
“Protest is sustained, where the agency, in making the award decision, did not assess the relative merits of the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria identified in the solicitation, which provided for a relative order of importance for the various technical requirements, and where the agency did not take into account the fact that one of the proposals offered to satisfy more trade space technical requirements than the other proposal, even though the solicitation expressly requested offerors to satisfy as many of these technical requirements as possible.”
