Award of Contract for a Facilities Management Automated Document Filming, Storage, and Retrieval System

The protester objected to the award of a contract under a request for technical and firm fixed-price proposals which gave technology 75 percent weight and price 25 percent. GAO considered the protest even though the matter was also before a court of competent jurisdiction. Since the award was based on improper postaward discussions, the contract should be terminated and the requirement resolicited even though an auction situation may be created.
