           File:       B-406416

           Date:       March 19, 2012

           Edward J. Kinberg, Esq., Kinberg & Associates, LLC, for the protester.
           Phillip Reiman, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
           Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

           DIGEST

           Protester did not establish prejudice associated with agency's failure to amend
           solicitation to account for 2-month reduction in base period of performance.
           DECISION

           Triad Logistics Services Corporation, of Melbourne, Florida, protests the award of a
           contract to Shilo Services, Incorporated, of Cedar Park, Texas, under request for
           proposals (RFP) No. FA4800-1 1 -R-001 5, issued by the Department of the Air Force
           for transient aircraft services. The protester alleges that the agency improperly
           shortened the contract's base performance period without amending the RFP.

           We deny the protest.

           The RFP, a total small business set-aside, anticipated a base year of 9 months
           (January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012), with four 1-year options. RFP
           at 4-11. It sought a contractor to perform transient aircraft services, to include
           transient aircraft management control, arrival, processing, and departure services.
           The three evaluation factors were price, technical, and past performance.' Price
           would be evaluated as the total price for the base year plus the total price for all
           options. Id. at 21. Award would be made to the offeror with the lowest-priced,
           technically acceptable proposal with an acceptable level of past performance. Id.
           at 19. The government reserved the right to conduct discussions. Id. at 21.

           1 Technical had three components--program management, security, and aircraft
           expertise--each of which would be evaluated as acceptable or unacceptable.
