Adkins, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Challenge to agency's evaluation of awardee's past performance is denied where the evaluation was conducted in accordance with the stated criteria, which included consideration of subcontractor performance, and was reasonable. 2. Challenge to agency's evaluation of awardee's professional compensation is denied where the evaluation was reasonably based on a comparison of the offerors' compensation rates to the Federal employee pay rates because incumbent compensation rates were not available, and the agency's evaluation was otherwise reasonable. 3. Allegation that the agency improperly modified the contract post-award is denied where the record demonstrates that the contract's scope of work and fixed-price labor rates were not modified; rather, the contract incorporated the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity not-to-exceed threshold amount instead of the total evaluated price of the awardee.
