DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's assignment of weaknesses to protester's technical
proposal is denied where evaluation was reasonable, well-documented, and consistent
with the solicitation.

2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's past performance is denied
where agency's limited confidence in protester was unobjectionable given the totality of
the protester's past performance record, which included a contract termination for
default on the predecessor effort.
DECISION

Price Gordon Services, LLC, d/b/a Veteran National Transportation, LLC (VNT), a
service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Tucson, Arizona, protests
the award of a contract to Owl, Inc., an SDVOSB of St. Johns, Florida, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. VA258-17-R-0070, which was issued by the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) for ambulette services for the Southern Arizona Veterans Affairs
Health Care System (SAVAHCS). VNT challenges the agency's evaluation of its
proposal under the technical capability and past performance factors, among other
allegations.


We deny the protest.
