Agency's evaluation of protester's and awardees' past performance is unobjectionable where in accordance with the terms of the solicitation the agency gave greater weight in the evaluation to the past performance information it considered most relevant to the protested acquisition. 2. Agency's selection of higher-priced, higher-rated proposals for award instead of a lower-priced proposal with a little confidence past performance rating is unobjectionable, where the agency's tradeoff decision is adequately documented, includes the rationale for the tradeoffs made, and is reasonably based given the broad discretion afforded source selection officials. DECISION World Airways, Inc., of Peachtree City, Georgia, protests the award of five contracts to Air Transport International (ATI), Evergreen International Airlines, Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), National Air Cargo Group, Inc.
