         Matter  of: AIROD  Sdn. Bhd.

         File:       B-294127

         Date:       August 16, 2004

         Sathiasegaran Rajoo for the protester.
         Eric Kattner, Esq., and Dennis A. Walker, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the
         agency.
         Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protester's contention that an agency's evaluation of its past performance was
         unreasonable because the agency overlooked the protester's most recent
         performance report related to the predecessor contract for the services being
         procured is denied where the agency's error was mitigated by its supplemental use of
         questionnaires and interviews related to the protester's performance on the earlier
         contract, resulting in the protester's receipt of the highest possible past performance
         rating.
         DECISION

         AIROD  Sdn. Bhd., an aviation maintenance company in Malaysia, protests the award
         of a contract to Singapore Technologies Aerospace by the Department of the Air
         Force pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. F09603-01-R-30001, issued to
         procure programmed depot maintenance services for Air Force C-130 aircraft
         located in the Pacific Theater. AIROD argues that the agency misevaluated its past
         performance by failing to consider AIROD's most recent performance information,
         and by failing to properly credit its experience as the incumbent performing these
         services. As a result, AIROD argues that the Air Force unreasonably failed to select
         its higher-priced proposal for award.

         We  deny the protest.

         The RFP for these depot maintenance services was issued on April 17, 2002, and
         anticipated award of a mixed fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract for an
         8-year period followed by a 120-day option. Agency Report (AR) at 1; RFP at 112.
