          DIGEST

          1. Agency had reasonable basis for rating protester's proposal minimally
          acceptable under the non-price evaluation factors.

          2. Where both offerors have relevant past performance, an agency is not required to
          further differentiate between the past performance ratings based on a more refined
          assessment of the relative relevance of the offeror's prior contracts, unless required
          by the solicitation.
          DECISION

          SelectTech Services Corporation, of Centerville, Ohio, protests the award of a
          contract by the General Services Administration (GSA) on behalf of the Air Force
          Research Laboratory, Air Vehicles Directorate, Structures Division (AFRL/RBS), to
          Sierra Lobo, Inc., of Fremont, Ohio, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP)
          No. 5TP57100250, for research and development structural test services for the
          AFRL/RBS  at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.' SelectTech argues that the
          agency improperly evaluated SelectTech's and Sierra Lobo's proposals.

          'The AFRL/RBS  mission is to manage and perform basic research, exploratory
          development, and advanced development  in air vehicle structural design, structural
          technology integration, analytical structural mechanics, structural dynamics,
          sustainment, and extreme combined environment  structures to solve critical
          structural problems on fixed-wing aerospace vehicles. Agency Report at 2.
