Matter of:  Chenega Federal Systems, LLC

File:        B-417037.2

Date:       September 6, 2019

Kenneth A. Martin, Esq., Martin Law Firm, PLLC; William K. Walker, Esq., Walker
Reausaw, for the protester.
Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Danielle A. Runyan, Esq., Scott Van Schoyck, Esq.,
Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
Heather Self, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation is denied where the
agency properly considered the dollar value of offerors' past performance contracts
when assessing relevance, and evaluated offerors consistent with the solicitation.
DECISION

Chenega Federal Systems, LLC, a small business of Lorton, Virginia, protests the
award of a contract to Delaware Resource Group of Oklahoma, LLC (DRG), of
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA5215-17-R-0002,
issued by the Air Force for aircrew training and security services. Chenega argues that
the agency's evaluation of past performance was improper, that the agency conducted
an unreasonable best-value tradeoff decision based on the flawed past performance
evaluation, and that the agency failed to take the corrective action it promised in
response to an earlier protest filed by Chenega.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFP, issued on February 9, 2018, pursuant to the provisions of Federal Acquisition
Regulation part 15, contemplated the award of a single fixed-price contract with a 1-year
base period, three 1-year option periods, and two 1-year incentive option periods.
Agency Report (AR), Tab 4, RFP, at 1, 2-28, 85, 116. The solicitation's statement of
work (SOW) required the contractor to provide all personnel and materials to perform
