         David S. Black, Esq., Elizabeth N. Jochum, Esq., Kelly A. Krystyniak, Esq.,
         Gregory R. Hallmark, Esq., Elizabeth M. Gill, Esq., and Richard 0. Duvall, Esq.,

         Arnold & Porter, for Triple Canopy, Inc., the intervenor.
         Morgan L. Cosby, Esq., Department of State, for the agency.

         the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Agency's evaluation of the protester's and awardee's past performance is
         unobjectionable where the evaluation was in accordance with the terms of the
         solicitation and reasonably based.

         2. Agency's post-protest clarification of a factual inconsistency in its past
         performance evaluation will be considered and weighed appropriately by our Office,
         where the error was factual in nature, did not constitute a reevaluation of proposals,
         and was consistent with other statements set forth in the contemporaneous
         evaluation documents.
         DECISION

         Global Integrated Security (USA) Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, protests the issuance of
         a task order to Triple Canopy, Inc., of Reston, Virginia, under Task Order Request
         for Proposals (TORFP) No. 2013-0012, issued by the Department of State, for
         security, logistical, and support services in Basrah, Iraq. Global argues that the
         agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and evidenced bias.


We deny the protests.
