Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of an agency's past performance evaluation and source selection decision is denied where the agency reasonably evaluated protester's quotation consistent with solicitation's evaluation criteria. DECISION SoBran, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Financial & Realty Services, LLC, (FRS) of Silver Spring, Maryland, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. SSA-RFQ-1 3-0096, issued by the Social Security Administration for warehouse support services. SoBran challenges the agency's past performance evaluation and selection decision. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFQ was issued to eight vendors holding Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4, and provided for the issuance of a fixed-price task order (for a base and 4 option years) on a best value basis considering past performance and price, which were approximately equal in importance. Agency Report (AR) at 2; RFQ at 4.
