Matter of: Walden Security File: B-413523.10 Date: August 31, 2017 Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., Mary Pat Buckenmeyer, Esq., and Sean K. Griffin, Esq., Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC, for the protester.

Protest of agency's evaluation of information provided by protester to address adverse past performance information to which the offeror was not previously given an opportunity to respond is denied where the agency thoroughly considered the information and reasonably determined that it provided no basis to change the prior past performance rating for the protester. 2. Protest of agency's evaluation of protester's and awardee's past performance, which found the two firms had essentially equal past performance, is denied where the record establishes that the agency comprehensively considered relevant past performance information for both offerors, recognized positive and negative aspects of both offerors' past performance, and reasonably determined that the proposals were essentially equal. DECISION Walden Security, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, protests the award of two contracts to Paragon Systems, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DJM-16-A32-R-0001, issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), for court security officers (CSO) for three federal judicial circuits.
