         File:        B-410788.4; B-410788.5; B-410788.6; B-410788.7

         Date:        July 29, 2015

         Michael A. Hordell, Esq., Kristopher Berr, Esq., and Andrew J. Victor, Esq., Pepper
         Hamilton LLP, for the protester.
         William E. Hughes, Esq., and Emily A. Constantine, Esq., Whyte Hirschboeck
         Dudek SC, for SupplyCore Inc.; and William L. Walsh, Jr., Esq., Christina K. Scopin,
         Esq., and Nathaniel S. Canfield, Esq., Venable LLP, for Science Applications
         International Corporation, the intervenors.
         John P. Patkus, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
         Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that the agency failed to follow evaluation criteria with respect to past
         performance is denied, where the elements considered in determining relevance
         were not identified in the solicitation as evaluation subfactors, nor did the agency
         treat them as such.

         2. Protest that the source selection official failed to exercise his independent
         judgment, and instead cut and pasted portions of a selection document used in a
         similar procurement, is denied, where the record shows that the official considered
         the specifics of the individual proposals and the evaluation report, and exercised
         his independent judgment in making the source selection.
         DECISION

         Noble Supply and Logistics, of Rockland, Massachusetts, protests the Defense
         Logistics Agency's (DLA) award of contracts to SupplyCore Inc., of Rockford,
         Illinois, and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), of McLean,
         Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM8E3-14-R-0005, for
         maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies in the agency's south central
         region, geographical zones 1 and 2. DLA awarded the zone 1 contract to
         SupplyCore, and the zone 2 contract to SAIC. With respect to both awards, Noble
         argues that DLA placed undue emphasis on the dollar value of Noble's contract
