Bradley Reaves, Esq., and Beth V. McMahon, Esq., ReavesColey, PLLC, for LMR Technology Group, LLC, the intervenor. Patricia S. Wiegman-Lenz, Esq., Lawrence Anderson, Esq., Beatrice K. Foster, Esq., Kevin P. Stiens, Esq., and Cheronne R. Wilson, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jacob M. Talcott, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging agency improperly evaluated protester's technical proposal, past performance record, and price is denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with terms of solicitation. DECISION DURO Health, LLC, a small business of Portland, Oregon, protests the failure of the agency to award it a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA4890-18-R- 5035, issued by the Department of the Air Force, to provide pre-habilitation support services to fighter aircrew. The protester contends that the technical evaluation team was biased toward a rehabilitative approach, which led to an unreasonable evaluation of the protester's technical proposal, past performance record, and price. We deny the protest in part, and dismiss it in part. BACKGROUND According to the agency, it has experienced difficulty retaining fighter aircrew due to the neck and back pain caused by the physical demands of flight in the Air Force's fighter aircraft. Agency Report (AR), Tab 1, Contracting Officer's Statement (COS) at 2. To address these physical needs and better prepare its aircrew, the agency is implementing a program referred to as Optimizing the Human Weapon System
