DIGEST

Protest challenging agency assessment of past performance is denied where the
record shows that the evaluators performed a reasonable assessment of proposals
in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation scheme, and did not deviate from
the solicitation's scheme by using a past performance rating plan different from the
rating plan used for the other evaluation factors.
DECISION

Venture Productions protests the award of a contract to Film House, Inc. by the
Television-Audio Support Activity, Defense Logistics Agency, pursuant to request for
proposals (RFP) No. MDA113-97-R-0018, issued to purchase creative development,
scripting, and production services associated with brief informational radio and
television segments, known as spot announcements, for use by the Armed Forces
Radio and Television Service (AFRTS). Venture argues that the agency's evaluation
of past performance was unreasonable.

We deny the protest.

The RFP, issued on February 5, 1998, anticipates award of a 1-year
indefinite-delivery, indefinite -quantity contract with four 1-year option periods, to
the offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the government. The RFP
sets forth five evaluation factors: (1) organizational experience; (2) organizational
past performance; (3) ability as demonstrated by samples of recent spot
announcements; (4) ability as demonstrated by a creative proposal for two mock
spot announcements; and (5) price proposal for the mock spot announcements.
RFP, amend. 0001, § M.2.
