This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Alpha Data Corporation File: B-291423 Date: December 20, 2002 J. Scott Hommer, III, Esq., and Benjamin A. Winter, Esq., Venable, Baetjer and Howard, for the protester. Michael A. Gordon, Esq., and Susan E. Hughes, Esq., Holmes, Schwartz & Gordon, for Modern Technologies Corporation, an intervenor.

Long, III, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably ranked protester's proposal lower than other offerors' proposals under past performance evaluation factor where prime contractor had not performed the type of work solicited, and prime contractors for other offerors had performed such work. 2. Where solicitation provided for price reasonableness to be established through price competition and by comparing proposed labor rates to industry labor rates or labor rates from other contracts for similar work, agency was not required to compare sample task prices to government baseline to determine price reasonableness. DECISION Alpha Data Corporation (ADC) protests the failure of the Department of the Air Force to award it a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. F09603-02-R- 61087, for special operations forces (SOF) support services. The protester argues that the Air Force erred in evaluating its past performance and that the agency failed to evaluate offerors' cost proposals adequately. We deny the protest.
