           DIGEST

           1. Protest that awardee's proposal was technically unacceptable under solicitation's
           relevant experience factor is denied where record reflects that portion of awardee's
           proposal relating to solicitation's past performance factor contained, and agency
           reasonably considered, information demonstrating technical acceptability under
           relevant experience factor.

           2. Protest that agency improperly considered awardee's performance of subcontract
           to determine technical acceptability under relevant experience factor is denied
           where record reflects that awardee's proposal was technically acceptable under
           relevant experience factor regardless of whether subcontract was considered.
           DECISION

           Excalibur Laundries, Inc., of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, protests the award of a
           contract by the Department of the Army to Martin Edwards & Associates, Inc.
           (MEA), of Erwin, North Carolina, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124N-11-
           R-0027 for clothes washer and dryer rental services. Excalibur challenges various
           aspects of the source selection process and the agency's evaluation of MEA's
           proposal.


We deny the protest.
