B-274374 1 (1996-12-06)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaelt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: HLC Industries, Inc. File: B-274374 Date: December 6, 1996 Ruth E. Ganister, Esq., and Glenn L. Blackwell, Esq., Rosenthal and Ganister, for the protester. Jonathan C. Cramer, Esq., Federal Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. C. Douglas McArthur, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Contracting officer's consideration of protester's late deliveries under prior contracts; determination that protester's performance was poor under those contracts; and evaluation of protester's past performance as marginal were reasonable and consistent with solicitation criteria that stated that agency would consider timeliness of performance, in addition to other factors, in evaluation of past performance. 2. Agency's evaluation of offerors' past performance was reasonable where the prior contracts selected for evaluation were performed in the last 2 years and, like the solicitation at issue, called for the manufacture of cloth meeting the standards of the using agency for physical, shade, and end item testing, and thus involved work similar to that required under the solicitation at issue. DECISION HLC Industries, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Coville, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. IPI-R-0502-96, issued by the Bureau of Prisons for brown cotton cloth. HLC contends that the agency did not properly evaluate its proposal. We deny the protest. On May 2, 1996, the agency issued the RFP for a firm, fixed-price requirements contract for cloth to supply to the Federal Correctional Institution in Jesup, Georgia. The cloth will be used for the manufacture of clothing (tee shirts) by Federal Prison Industries, a wholly-owned government corporation within the Department of Justice that operates under the trade name Unicor at various federal correctional institutions in the federal prison system, and which provides employment, education, and training opportunities to inmates under federal custody. 201126
