handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaekv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: SEAIR Transport Services, Inc. File: B-274162 Date: November 25, 1996 T. J. Coulter for the protester. Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., and Philip M. Dearborn, Esq., Piliero, Mazza & Pargament, for Akima Corporation, an intervenor. Kim N. Haris, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Evaluation of protester's past performance was reasonable--and adequately took into account recency and seriousness of deficiencies--where it was based on performance ratings from offeror-furnished prior contract references. DECISION SEAIR Transport Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Akima Corporation for the operation, maintenance, and protection of a government-owned petroleum terminal at San Pedro, California under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0600-96-R-0086, issued by the Defense Fuel Supply Center, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). We deny the protest. The contract was to be awarded to the offeror whose proposal met the minimum requirements set forth in the solicitation and provided the best value combination of past performance (more important) and price. With respect to past performance, each offeror was required to provide specified information, including a reference, for each of its three most recent contracts that involved work similar to that covered by the RFP. Upon receiving the initial proposals, DLA sent each of the references a past performance survey to complete. The survey consisted of 20 questions, the first 12 of which called for the respondent to rate the offeror's performance unsatisfactory, satisfactory or good, and the last 8 of which required a yes or no answer. DLA then assigned each answer a score and, using a mathematical formula, developed a ranking for each proposal. 10551125
