This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Green Valley Transportation, Inc. File: B-285283 Date: August 9, 2000 Leo S. Fisher, Esq., and Raighne C. Delaney, Esq., Bean, Kinney and Korman, for the protester. Capt. Ryan M. Zipf, Col. Nicholas P. Retson, and Col. Michael R. Neds, Department of the Army, for the agency. Tania Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Under solicitation for freight transportation, contracting agency's evaluation of offerors' past performance was unreasonable where (1) with respect to reports of past performance problems, agency focused on the absolute number of those problems, without considering, for each offeror, the number of shipments the offeror had made in the relevant time period; (2) with respect to past performance problems, contemporaneous evaluation documents contained no evidence the agency complied with solicitation instruction to look for reasons, explanations and clarifications for past performance problems; and (3) with respect to past percent on-time delivery, agency also failed to consider the wide variance in the offerors' shipping volume over the relevant period. DECISION Green Valley Transportation, Inc. protests awards made under request for proposals (RFP) No. JD-5252-SH, issued by the Department of the Army, Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), for guaranteed traffic (GT) freight transportation. Green Valley argues that the agency's evaluation of technical proposals with respect to past performance was unreasonable. We sustain the protest.
