Matter of: SEAIR Transport Services, Inc.

File:       B-274162

Date:       November 25, 1996

T. J. Coulter for the protester.
Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., and Philip M. Dearborn, Esq., Piliero, Mazza & Pargament,
for Akima Corporation, an intervenor.
Kim N. Haris, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Evaluation of protester's past performance was reasonable--and adequately took
into account recency and seriousness of deficiencies--where it was based on
performance ratings from offeror-furnished prior contract references.
DECISION

SEAIR Transport Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Akima
Corporation for the operation, maintenance, and protection of a government-owned
petroleum terminal at San Pedro, California under request for proposals (RFP)
No. SP0600-96-R-0086, issued by the Defense Fuel Supply Center, Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA).

We deny the protest.

The contract was to be awarded to the offeror whose proposal met the minimum
requirements set forth in the solicitation and provided the best value combination of
past performance (more important) and price. With respect to past performance,
each offeror was required to provide specified information, including a reference,
for each of its three most recent contracts that involved work similar to that
covered by the RFP. Upon receiving the initial proposals, DLA sent each of the
references a past performance survey to complete. The survey consisted of
20 questions, the first 12 of which called for the respondent to rate the offeror's
performance unsatisfactory, satisfactory or good, and the last 8 of which required a
yes or no answer. DLA then assigned each answer a score and, using a
mathematical formula, developed a ranking for each proposal.
