          Matter of: American Floor Consultants, Inc.

          File:        B-294530.7

          Date:        June 15, 2006

          David M. Kupsky, Esq., for the protester.
          Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., Esq., and Capt. Joseph F. Pera, Department of the Air Force,
          for the agency.
          Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency's evaluation of protester's past performance record is denied where agency
          reasonably determined that the past performance references were incomplete or not
          relevant.
          DECISION

          American Floor Consultants, Inc. (AFCI), a small business, protests the award of a
          contract to FloorPro, Inc. by the Department of the Air Force under request for
          proposals (RFP) No. FA4861-04-R-A014 for application of chemically resistant
          urethane (CRU) on floors at various Air Force facilities. The protester contends that
          the agency improperly evaluated its past performance record and that AFCI's
          proposal should have been selected for award because it was the lowest-priced
          acceptable proposal. The protester also contends that the agency failed to take
          adequate corrective action in response to a prior protest.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP sought proposals for application of CRU coating on floors at Nellis Air
          Force Base and Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field, Nevada. The RFP required
          offerors to propose all labor, supplies, materials, supervision, transportation, and
          equipment for application of the coatings and subsequent floor maintenance. The

          fixed unit price task orders. The base performance period was 1 year, with four
