           DIGEST

           Decision denying protest is affirmed on reconsideration where protester fails to
           demonstrate that decision erred in requiring protester to demonstrate prejudice.
           DECISION

           Triad Logistics Services Corporation, of Melbourne, Florida, requests
           reconsideration of our March 19, 2012 decision denying its protest challenging the
           award of a contract to Shilo Services, Incorporated, of Cedar Park, Texas, under
           request for proposals (RFP) No. FA480-1 1 -R-001 5, issued by the Department of the
           Air Force for transient aircraft services.

           We deny the request for reconsideration.

           As discussed in our decision, the solicitation contemplated the award of a contract
           with a base period of 9 months and four 1-year options. RFP at 4-11. Award was
           to be made to the offeror submitting the lowest-priced, technically acceptable
           proposal, with an acceptable level of past performance. Id. at 19. Price was to be
           evaluated by adding the offeror's price for the 9 month base period to the offeror's
           price for the four 1-year options; i.e., price was to be evaluated on the basis of a
           57 month period of performance. Id. at 21.

           After receiving proposals in response to the solicitation, the agency decided to
           request revised proposals. Agency Request for Dismissal, attach. 1, Contracting
           Officer Memorandum for Record (COMFR), T 2.e. The acceptance and evaluation
           of revised proposals delayed the procurement. This delay, together with a
           budgetary requirement that the base period conclude during the 2012 fiscal year,
           had the effect of reducing the base period from nine months to seven months.
           Id. T 2.c. To account for this reduction, the agency evaluated price on the basis of a
