          DIGEST

          Protest that the agency's evaluation of the awardee's past performance was
          unreasonable is sustained where the agency did not consider relevant adverse
          information, of which the agency was aware, for the awardee.
          DECISION

          Contrack International, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
          Zafer Contracting Construction and Trade Company, Inc., of Ankara, Turkey, under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. W917PM-09-R-0075, issued by the Department of the
          Army, Corps of Engineers, for the design and construction of an ammunition supply
          point at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The protester challenges the agency's
          evaluation of proposals and source selection decision.

          We sustain the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The RFP, issued on May 25, 2009, provided for the evaluation of proposals on a best
          value basis under the following factors, listed in descending order of importance:
