Summary

Magellan Health Services protests the award of a contract to Ceridian Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. 05FOHEAP, issued by the Division of Federal Occupational Health (FOH), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), for employee assistance program (EAP) services. Magellan, the incumbent contractor, argues that the agency's evaluation of offerors' technical proposals, as well as the agency's evaluation of Ceridian's cost proposal, were unreasonable. Magellan also protests that the agency's source selection decision was improper, insofar as the agency failed to document the basis for its conclusion that the higher-rated Magellan proposal and the lower-rated Ceridian proposal were technically equal as part of its "best value" determination.

We sustain the protest.
