         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation of protester's proposal, cost
         realism evaluation of awardee, and source selection decision is dismissed where
         protester abandoned its substantive challenges to the agency's evaluation.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation of the awardee is
         denied where the record reflects that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and
         consistent with the stated evaluation criteria, and adequately documented.

         3. Protest challenging the agency's technical evaluation of the awardee's proposal
         is sustained where the agency's evaluation was not reasonable or consistent with
         the stated evaluation criteria, in that the agency failed to reasonably consider an
         aspect of the awardee's technical submission that indicated a lack of technical
         understanding.
         DECISION

         Jacobs Technology, Inc. (JTI), of Tullahoma, Tennessee, protests the award of a
         contract to AS and D, LLC (AS&D), of Beltsville, Maryland, under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. FA9300-15-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Air Force
         for aerospace systems technical research and operations services (ASTROS), at
         Edwards Air Force Base, California. JTI argues that the agency's evaluation of
         offerors' proposals and resulting contract award decision were improper.
