         Date:       July 21, 2014

         Patrick R. Buckler, Buckler Law, LLC, for the protester.
         Kelly Tischler, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, 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 past performance evaluation is denied where
         the record shows that the agency reasonably evaluated the offerors' past
         performance records, and reasonably distinguished between those records in
         assigning the awardee a higher confidence rating.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's award decision is denied where the record
         shows that the agency reasonably found that the higher ratings for the awardee's
         proposal under the non-price factors merited award as compared to the protester's
         proposal, which had a lower price but a higher performance risk.
         DECISION

         Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. (CNE), of Baltimore, Maryland, protests the award of
         a contract to Hess Corporation, of New York, New York, under request for

         Energy (DLA), for electricity and ancillary services. CNE challenges the agency's
