Williamson, Esq., and Anand V. Ramana, Esq., McGuire Woods LLP, for the protester. David T. Ralston, Jr., Esq., George W. Ash, Esq., Frank S. Murray, Esq., and Philip A. Nacke, Esq., Foley & Lardner LLP, for Wolverine World Wide, Inc., an intervenor. Maria Ventresca, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's delivery performance, which evidenced significant delinquencies, was reasonably found marginal by the agency. DECISION Capps Shoe Company, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Wolverine World Wide, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0100-05-R-0036, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for men's and women's leather dress shoes. The protester argues that the agency improperly evaluated its past performance. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with minimum and maximum quantities for a 1-year base ordering period with four 1-year option periods to the offeror whose proposal was most advantageous to the government, price and other factors considered. The RFP specified the following evaluation factors, listed in descending order of importance: past performance, vendor managed program, bill and hold capability, socio-economic considerations, and Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (JWOD) entity. The solicitation provided that technical and past performance, when combined, are ... significantly more important than cost or price. RFP at 74. The RFP provided that the first three non-price factors would be assigned an overall rating of exceptional, very good, satisfactory, marginal, and unsatisfactory, whereas the proposals would be rank-ordered under the two lowest weighted non-price factors.
