Matter of: NikSoft Systems Corporation File: B-407195; B-407195.2 Date: November 27, 2012 Gerard F. Doyle, Esq., and Ron R. Hutichinson, Esq., Doyle & Bachman LLP, for the protester. Ira E. Hoffman, Esq., Offit Kurman, for Delmock Technologies, Inc., the intervenor. Richard L. Hatfield, Esq., Department of the Treasury, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably concluded that protester's responses to agency's discussions questions introduced risk regarding the level of resources that protester was committing to perform the fixed-price portion of the solicitation requirements. 2. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's past performance as very good, rather than excellent, where protester's references rated the quality of protester's prior performance between very good and excellent, and the record indicates that protester's prior contracts were more relevant to the less significant of the solicitation's two basic requirements. DECISION NikSoft Systems Corporation protests the award of a contract to Delmock Technologies, Inc. (DTI), by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. TIRNO-12-R-0004 to perform middleware information technology (IT) services for the IRS's Middleware Support Services Section. NikSoft protests that the agency improperly evaluated NikSoft's proposed approach to performing the fixed-price portion of the contract requirements, and improperly evaluated NikSoft's proposal under the past performance and past experience evaluation factors. We deny the protest.
