1. Protest challenging the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is sustained where the agency knew, prior to award, that the agency's anticipated schedule for issuance of task orders was materially different from the assumptions set forth in the solicitation, upon which offerors were required to base their proposals.
2. Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's compliance with a mandatory solicitation requirement to propose an integrated financial management solution currently in use in the federal government is sustained, where the record does not show that the agency reasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal and solution demonstration with respect to this requirement.
We recommend that the agency reevaluate its requirements with regard to the estimated scope of work covered by this solicitation, including the anticipated pace and scope of the scheduled migration for DHS component agencies.
After doing so, the agency should revise the RFP to appropriately reflect its actual requirements and obtain revised proposals.
We also recommend that DHS reevaluate its requirement that offerors propose an integrated solution that is currently in use in the federal government, and revise the RFP to address this issue if necessary.
