           Matter of:   Triad International Maintenance Corporation

           File:        B-408374

           Date:        September 5, 2013

           James S. Phillips, Esq., Eric S. Crusius, Esq., Stephen P. Ramaley, Esq., Kevin P.
           Joyce, Esq., and Dov M. Szego, Esq., Centre Law Group, LLC, for the protester.
           David Z. Bodenheimer, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for DRS Technical Services,
           Inc., an intervenor.
           William H. Butterfield, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast
           Guard, for the agency.
           Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General
           Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's past performance
           is sustained where the record shows that the agency failed to reasonably consider
           the protester's performance of the incumbent contract requirements.

           2. Protest against price evaluation that determined that the protester's low price
           was a moderate risk is sustained where the solicitation did not provide for
           considering price realism.
           DECISION

           Triad International Maintenance Corporation, Aviation Services (TIMCO), of
           Greensboro, North Carolina, protests the award of a contract to DRS Technical
           Services, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, under request for proposal (RFP) No.
           HSCG38-13-R-HOO001, issued by the United States Coast Guard, for progressive
           structural inspections (PSI) on HC-130H and HC-130J aircraft. TIMCO challenges
           the agency's evaluation of its past performance, proposed price, and technical
           proposal, and also argues that the agency's evaluation of the protester's and
           awardee's proposals reflected disparate treatment in favor of the awardee.


We sustain the protest.
