Department of Homeland Security failed to evaluate the awardee's proposal under the management approach factor in accordance with the solicitation

Long Description
The solicitation was very clear that the agency did not want supervisors to provide relief. Wackenhut structured its proposal to provide relief to guard workers without relying on supervisors to provide relief, and the agency specifically noted that Wackenhut "understand[s] the [RFP] requirement that supervisors do not provide relief ('replacements')." AR, Tab 13, Technical Executive Summary, at 25. The agency took the opposite approach with regard to its evaluation of Coastal's proposal when it ignored this requirement and found that Coastal's plan to have supervisors provide relief was "innovat[ive]," "creative," and "exceeds the requirements" of the RFP.

Benefit/Value
It also appears from the record that the agency may have evaluated proposals disparately in other ways under the management approach factor. In this regard, Wackenhut's proposal contained some of the same features that the agency viewed as advantageous in Coastal's proposal, but the record does not indicate that Wackenhut received the same favorable consideration in the evaluation.
