This redacted version has Decision i ........been appro for prelease. Matter of: WingGate Travel, Inc. File: B-412921 Date: July 1, 2016 Josephine L. Ursini, Esq., for the protester. Bryant S.

Caney, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation is denied where the agency reasonably considered both the relevance and quality of the protester's references; the agency reasonably took into account the size of the offeror's prior work, in accordance with the solicitation's stated evaluation criteria, when assessing performance confidence. DECISION WingGate Travel, Inc., of Overland Park, Kansas, protests the award of a contract to Cruise Ventures, Inc. d/b/a CI Travel, of Norfolk, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 15-233-SOL-00024, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for commercial travel office services in support of Department of Defense military entrance processing stations (MEPS).1 WingGate argues that the agency's evaluation of its past performance was improper. We deny the protest. 1 Although the requirement here was one involving a Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) function, and the evaluation of proposals was largely performed by DTMO personnel, the procurement was conducted by HHS contracting personnel on a fee-for-service basis.
