GAO Sustains Bid Protests for Army's FMTV Award

FYI,

DefenseAlert is reporting a sustained bid protest by both BAE Systems and Navistar in the award to Oshkosh of the recompete of the FMTV contract. According to the GAO press statement (actual decision is currently under seal), the Army misevaluated Oshkosh's capability and also misevaluated Navistar's past performance. The GAO recommends a new evaluation of the offerors with respect to those to items. The other allegations of errors were not sustained.

Maybe this is not such a big deal, but the award was worth billions -- reportedly at least $3 billion. Given the stakes, and perhaps the complexity of the requirements, I can see making a mistake in an evaluation criteria. But past performance?

In any case, now it's back to the drawing board for the Army evaluators.
