           Matter of:   Systems Engineering Partners, LLC

           File:        B-412329; B-412329.2

           Date:        January 20, 2016

           Heather A. James, Esq., Whiteford, Taylor & Preston LLP, for the protester.
           Amy L. O'Sullivan, Esq., Olivia L. Lynch, Esq., and Mark Ries, Esq., Crowell &

           Victoria H. Kauffman, Esq., Brian M. Stanford, Esq., John H. Eckhardt, Esq., and
           Michael J. Monahan, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the

           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 improperly considered the past performance of the
           awardee's affiliate is denied, where the awardee's proposal demonstrated that the
           affiliate's resources would be utilized for contract performance.

           2. Protest that the agency unreasonably assigned the protester a strength instead
           of a significant strength is denied, where the protester did not identify features of its
           proposal that would merit a significant strength in accordance with the terms of the
           solicitation.
           DECISION

           Systems Engineering Partners, LLC (SEP), of Tysons Corner, Virginia, protests the
           National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) award of a contract to
           Arctic Slope Technical Services, Inc. (Arctic Slope), of McLean, Virginia, under
           request for proposals (RFP) No. NNG15498942R, for software engineering
           services. SEP challenges the evaluation of proposals.


We deny the protest.
