         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging agency's assignment of highest possible experience/past
         performance rating to awardee's proposal under size and complexity evaluation
         element is sustained where solicitation called for comparison of offerors' most
         relevant prior contracts to a defined dollar threshold, on an individual basis, and
         record shows that none of awardee's contracts met the dollar threshold.

         2. Protest challenging evaluation of favorable past performance data obtained
         internally by agency, which conflicted with adverse past performance information
         provided in awardee's proposal, is sustained where record does not permit
         meaningful review of whether agency's evaluation was reasonable.

         3. Protest that agency's evaluation of protester's and awardee's proposals under
         past performance subfactors was inconsistent and, therefore, unreasonable is
         sustained where record does not reflect a reasonable basis for agency's decision to
         consider some information outside a 12-month window, while refusing to consider
         other information outside that 12-month window.
