Matter of: National Sourcing, Inc. File: B-411703.2 Date: March 22, 2016 Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Kathryn V. Flood, Esq., Julia Di Vito, Esq., and Jacqueline K. Unger, Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, for the protester. Richard B. Oliver, Esq., J. Matthew Carter, Esq., and Meghan D.

Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's quotation as merely acceptable under the performance approach evaluation factor is denied where the agency reasonably identified multiple weaknesses in the protester's quotation, including its inadequately-supported intent to significantly reduce staffing levels. 2. Protest that agency unreasonably found awardee's past performance to be relevant is denied where solicitation expressly advised vendors that past performance would be considered in the aggregate, and the awardee's aggregate past performance was reasonably similar to the solicitation requirements. DECISION National Sourcing, Inc. (NSI), of Tampa, Florida, protests the Department of the Navy's award of a task order to Strategic Data Systems (SDS), of San Diego, California, pursuant to request for quotations (RFQ) No. N00024-15-R-3063 for services supporting the Naval Personnel Command's (NPC) customer service center. NSI, the incumbent contractor, asserts that the agency improperly evaluated NSI's quotation with regard to NSI's performance approach, and improperly evaluated SDS's quotation with regard to SDS's past performance. We deny the protest.
