DIGEST Agency's evaluation of protester's past performance was reasonable, where the agency consistent with the solicitation considered vendors' past performance information in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). DECISION All Points International Distributors, Inc. (API) of Hillsdale, New Jersey, protests the issuance of a delivery order to HDT Expeditionary Systems, Inc.
