           File:       B-410366; B-410366.2; B-410366.3

           Date:       December 18, 2014

           Barbara G. Werther, Esq., Joseph C. Kovars, Esq., and Jackson B. Boyd, Esq.,

           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of past performance is denied where
           agency reasonably determined that, notwithstanding positive performance
           references, protester's past performance did not demonstrate performance of
           contracts involving similar size, scope, or complexity such as to warrant a rating
           higher than acceptable.

           2. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation is denied where the source
           selection authority reasonably concluded that the two technical strengths associated
           with the protester's proposal were of limited value and would have little impact on
           the successful performance of the contract.
           DECISION

           CyQuest Business Solutions, Inc., of Atlanta, Georgia, protests the Pension Benefit
           Guaranty Corporation's (PBGC) award of a contract to Integrated Management
           Resources Group, Inc. (IMRG), of Lanham, Maryland, under request for proposals
           (RFP) No. PBGC01 -RP-1 4-0015, for professional pension benefit administration
           support services. CyQuest asserts that the agency's evaluation and tradeoff
           decision were unreasonable.


We deny the protest.
