         P.C., for the protester.
         William D. Robinson, Esq., and Seth Bogin, Esq., Department of Justice, for the

         DIGEST

         Protest against agency's evaluation of awardee's past performance is denied where
         the agency's evaluation of awardee's past performance was reasonable and
         consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the award of a contract to McLeod
         Addictive Disease Center, Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina, under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. 200-1128-MA, issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP),
         Department of Justice, for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) services. Bannum
         contends that the BOP unreasonably evaluated McLeod's past performance and/or
         made an improper trade-off decision.

         We deny the protest.

         The BOP, through contractual relationships with various entities to operate RRCs,
         provides community-based residential and nonresidential correctional services to
         assist federal offenders during the transition from prison to the community. See
         RFP, Statement of Work (SOW), at 1. The BOP issued the present RFP on April 5,
         2011, seeking a contractor to operate the agency's RRC in Charlotte, North
         Carolina, under a fixed-price contract with a 2 year base period plus 3 option
