Matter of:       Precision Air, Inc.


File:

Date:


B-416541.2; B-416541.3

November 20, 2018


Douglas C. Proxmire, Esq., and Chelsea B. Knudson, Esq., Venable, LLP, for the
protester.
Colonel C. Taylor Smith, Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Major Ryan P. Payne, and
Captain Jacquelyn C. Fiorelo, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's past performance is denied where,
although agency determined that awardee's past performance record was not relevant,
agency properly included relevant past performance for awardee's subcontractor and
record supported evaluation of awardee's past performance as reasonable.

2. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's and awardee's technical proposals is
denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation criteria, and
supported tradeoff judgment that protester's slight advantage under technical factor was
outweighed by awardee's slight advantage in past performance and its lower price.
DECISION

Precision Air, Inc., of Daniel Island, South Carolina, a small business, protests the
award of a contract to Lakota Solutions, LLC, of Warner Robbins, Georgia, under
request for proposals (RFP) No. FA2486-18-R-0006, issued by the Department of the
Air Force for maintenance and support services for the 96th Test Wing at Eglin Air
Force Base (AFB), Florida. The protester argues that the Air Force misevaluated the
proposals and made an unreasonable source selection decision.1

We deny the protest.


1 Precision is a subcontractor on the incumbent contract.
