This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Braswell Services Group, Inc. File: B-278921.2 Date: June 17, 1998 Patricia H. Wittie, Esq., and Karla J. Letsche, Esq., Wittie & Letsche, for the protester. Sharon Hershkowitz, Esq., Jannika E. Cannon, Esq., Lisa L. Hare, Esq., and Catherine A. D'Andrea, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's past performance as unsatisfactory where record shows that the protester's most relevant contract performance was reasonably perceived as inadequate by the agency, notwithstanding protester's allegations that the agency overstated the scope and significance of the performance deficiencies. 2. Agency reasonably evaluated awardee's past performance record as satisfactory, which was the rating closest to a neutral assessment, where the agency did not have available on file past performance rating information for the awardee which it viewed as sufficient to permit a full evaluation; satisfactory rating did not overstate the record, since agency had orally received a favorable overall assessment of the awardee's relevant performance by a cognizant contracting official. 3. Agency selection of slightly higher-priced proposal with a satisfactory past performance rating instead of the lower-priced proposal with an unsatisfactory rating was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme, which weighted past performance as slightly more important than price. DECISION Braswell Services Group, Inc. protests the award of a fixed-price contract to Earl Industries under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62670-98-R-0003, issued
