Summary

Systems Research and Applications Corporation (SRA) and Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc. (BAH) protest the award of a contract to Jacobs Technology under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8721-06-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Air Force for engineering and technology acquisition support services (ETASS) for the agency's Electronic Systems Center (ESC). The protesters challenge the agency's evaluation of proposals, conduct of discussions, and source selection decision.

We sustain the protests because the record does not show that the agency qualitatively assessed the differences in the offerors' proposals as required by the RFP.
