Protest that an agency used unannounced evaluation criteria in evaluating past performance is denied, where the areas considered in the evaluation were reasonably related to the past performance factor as described in the solicitation. 2. Unless there is a clear reason to question the validity of the past performance information, an agency is not required to communicate matters of adverse past performance where no discussions are conducted under an acquisition.

(UNICOR) under request for proposals (RFP) No. USMS07-1 0 for vehicle towing, storage, maintenance, and disposal services for the U.S. Marshals Service in the Southern District of Texas. The protester argues that the agency incorrectly evaluated its past performance. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on August 26, 2010, as a small business set-aside. The RFP anticipated the award of a fixed-price contract for a base year with four 1-year options.
