             DIGEST

             1. Protest against evaluation of past performance is denied where information
             reasonably available to the procuring agency supported the report of the agency
             administering the protester's contract to the effect that protester was deficient in its
             cost/schedule performance on that contract.

             2. Protest that agency did not adequately consider the complexity of the products
             being developed and/or procured when evaluating past cost/schedule performance
             and arriving at an overall rating, and instead placed undue emphasis on program
             complexity, is denied where offerors were advised prior to the closing date for
             receipt of proposals that agency viewed program similarity as more important than
             pro duct similarity.
             DECISION

             Hughes Missile Systems Company protests the Department of the Air Force's award
             of contracts to Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems, Inc. (LM) and McDonnell
             Douglas Aerospace Corporation (MD), under request for proposals (RFP)
             No. F08626-96-R-0002, for the definition and development of the Joint Air-to-Surface
