DIGEST

Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of past performance is denied where the
record reflects that the agency's evaluation was consistent with the terms of the
solicitation and reasonable.
DECISION

R4 Integration, Inc., of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, protests the award of a contract to
iAccess Technologies, Inc., of Santa Ana, California, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. FA8625-16-R-6601, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the modification
of avionics systems on 172 C-1 30H aircraft. R4 challenges the agency's evaluation of
its past performance.'

1 In addition to the protest allegations concerning the agency's evaluation of its past
performance, R4 raised three other challenges. Two of the challenges, however, were
withdrawn by the protester. Protester's Response to Request for Dismissal at 2. The
final challenge, which concerned the agency's alleged failure to provide the Small
Business Administration (SBA) with evidence relevant to a small business size
challenge filed by R4 on March 23, 2017, is dismissed. As a general matter, size status
challenges of particular firms are not matters reviewed by our Office; rather, they are
solely for consideration by the SBA. See 4 C.F.R. § 21.5(b)(1). Since the determination
of what information must be considered by the SBA during a size protest is inextricably
linked to SBA's authority to make size determinations, the argument raised by the
protester in this regard is not for our consideration. CRS, Inc., B-260955, Aug. 7, 1995,
95-2 CPD T 59 at 5.
