handle is hein.gao/gaobaczqj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: im G A 0Comptroller General L MA Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Singleton Enterprises File: B-298576 Date: October 30, 2006 Arthur Wayne Singleton for the protester. Stanley M. Wyre, Esq., Stanley M. Wyre Associates, L.L.C., for Chezcore, Inc., the intervenor. Ruth Kowarski, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Solicitation provision stating that under the solicitation's past performance evaluation factor the agency would evaluate the offeror's actions under previously awarded contracts created a latent ambiguity where in addition to the agency's intended meaning that only the offeror's corporate past performance would be considered, the solicitation was reasonably read by the protester as providing for the evaluation of the past performance of the proposed subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the work required. DECISION Singleton Enterprises protests the award of a contract to Chezcore, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-05P-06-SVC-3022, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for exterior masonry repair to a federal building in Battle Creek, Michigan. The protester argues that the agency's evaluation of proposals under the solicitation's past performance factor was unreasonable. We sustain the protest. The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price contract to the offeror whose proposal represented the best value to the government based upon the evaluation factors of past performance and price. The solicitation specified that in determining which proposal represented the best value, the agency would consider past performance to be significantly more important than price.
