         Decision


         Matter  of: Robert Clay, Inc.

         File:       B-292443

         Date:       August 14, 2003

         Robert Clay for the protester.
         Capt. Ryan Hendricks, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
         Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest based on information learned in non-required debriefing is timely if filed
         within 10 days of the debriefing.

         2. Agency reasonably determined that awardee and protester had equal performance
         risk ratings; because past performance and price were the sole evaluation factors,
         award was reasonably based on the awardee's lower-priced proposal.

         price, with past performance being significantly more important than price.
         RFP  at 33. The assessment of past performance was to result in an overall
         performance risk rating of either exceptional, very good, satisfactory, neutral,
         marginal, or unsatisfactory. Offerors without relevant past performance were to
         receive a neutral rating, meaning that the rating was to be treated neither favorably
         nor unfavorably. RFP, amend. 1, at 3. Relevant contracts were said to include, but
         are not limited to, repair and/or replacement of standing seam metal roofing, of the
