Ganister, Esq., and Glenn L. Blackwell, Esq., Rosenthal & Ganister, for the protester. John M. Logue, Esq., and Michael Trovarelli, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency evaluation of protester's past performance as marginally acceptable is unobjectionable where agency considered protester's improvements in deliveries and contractual adjustments to delivery schedules, but found protester's deliveries under five of six most recent contracts were inexcusably delinquent. DECISION Macon Apparel Corporation protests the award of a contract to Martin Manufacturing Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPO100-95-R-0095, issued by the Defense Personnel Support Center, Defense Logistics Agency for the manufacture of certain shirts. The protester contends that the agency's evaluation of Macon's past performance was flawed. The RFP sought proposals to manufacture long-sleeve shirts for wear by Navy personnel. The RFP contemplated a basic award for the manufacture of 123,360 shirts, with two mandatory options of 123,360 shirts each. Offerors were required to submit a product demonstration model (PDM) using the materials specified in the RFP. Offerors also were required to describe their experience with production of the same or similar garments within the last 2 years, including delivery and quality performance information and explanations of any substandard quality or delinquent delivery. Proposals were evaluated on price and four technical factors, listed in descending order of importance: PDMs; experience/past performance; manufacturing plan; and quality assurance plan. Technical quality was more important than price. Proposals 45394
