          DIGEST

          Protester's challenge to the evaluation of past performance and experience in a
          competition where several of the awardee's former key employees are now
          employed by the protester and where those personnel, at least in part, may have had
          a role in the awardee's favorable past performance, is denied where the record
          shows that the agency reasonably: (1) credited the protester for the favorable past
          performance of its key employees (achieved while they were employed by the
          awardee), but nonetheless recognized that the protester, as a company, has not
          previously manufactured this item, and does not have production employees with
          this experience; and (2) considered downgrading the awardee's excellent past
          performance rating due to the loss of its key personnel, but left the rating intact
          based on a recognition that the company has continued to successfully perform
          despite the loss of its former key employees, and is doing so with production
          employees and a facility that has performed well in the past.
