Decision, Matter of: HomeSafe Alliance, LLC
Abstract
Protest challenging a contracting officer's affirmative determination of the awardee's responsibility is sustained where the record shows that the contracting officer failed to consider that the awardee's statements offered in the course of a second responsibility determination--that two affiliates implicated in criminal wrongdoing would not contribute to contract performance--contradicted the awardee's technical capability proposal, and failed to consider that two top officers of the awardee's parent company are employees of one of the affiliates implicated in criminal wrongdoing. Protest that the agency conducted misleading discussions is sustained where, although the protester's total evaluated price was consistently lower than other offerors' prices, in each round of discussions the agency advised the protester that its total price seemed high.
