         File:        B-293766

         Date:        June 4, 2004

         Henry Nakkashian for the protester.
         Isaac Johnson, Jr., Esq., Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, 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

         Protest challenging past performance evaluation is denied where record fails to
         demonstrate that the protester was prejudiced by agency's miscalculation of
         protester's on-time delivery rate under prior contracts or that agency improperly
         attributed quality deficiencies to the protester.
         DECISION

         Air Shunt Instruments protests the evaluation of its proposal and the award of a
         contract to InAir Aviation Services under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTCG38-
         03-R-H00002, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard, Aircraft Repair and Supply Center
         (ARSC), for the rework of C130 aircraft electronic components. The protester takes
         issue with the agency's evaluation of its past performance.

         We  deny the protest.

         The RFP, which was issued as a small business set-aside, contemplated the award of
         a fixed-price requirements contract for a base period of 1 year, plus four 1-year
         option periods. Offerors were to furnish prices (on a per-unit and hourly labor-rate
         basis) for the repair of altitude indicators, horizontal indicators, and air speed
         computers.  The solicitation, as amended, provided for single or multiple awards to
         the offeror(s) whose offer(s) represented the best value to the government.
         Technical factors, consisting of past performance, deficiency reports, and delivery
         data, and price were to be of equal weight in the evaluation. The RFP stated that
         offerors had to receive a satisfactory past performance rating to be considered for
