          DIGEST

          Agency decision to limit corrective action to the area of past performance is
          unobjectionable where it is adequate to remedy the procurement impropriety at
          issue.
          DECISION

          Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc., of Columbia, Maryland, protests the actions
          of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Goddard Space
          Flight Center (GSFC), in its implementation of corrective action in response to
          Honeywell's protest of NASA's award of a contract to ITT Corporation -- Advanced
          Engineering & Sciences (ITT), of Herndon, Virginia, under request for proposals
          (RFP) No. NNG08218142R,  for space communications network services (SCNS).
          Honeywell argues that NASA's corrective action is improper by limiting the scope of
          offerors' proposal revisions to past performance information.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP, issued on January 16, 2008, sought proposals to provide the personnel,
          materials, and facilities necessary to perform all SCNS program requirements (see
