This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: IGIT, Inc. File: B-275299.2 Date: June 23, 1997 Darcy V. Hennessy, Esq., Moore, Brower, Hennessy & Freeman, P.C., for the protester. Lynn Hawkins Patton, Esq., and Christopher Solop, Esq., Ott & Purdy, for Penn Enterprises, Inc., an intervenor. Col. Nicholas P. Retson and Maj. Michael J. O'Farrell, Jr., Department of the Army, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's contention that agency conducted an unreasonable evaluation of past performance is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluation was fair, comprehensive and generally in accordance with the solicitation's stated evaluation criteria. In instance where evaluation appeared to deviate from the stated criteria, the result of the deviation was minimal and protester was not prejudiced. 2. Protester's claim that agency failed to advise it during discussions of perceived problems with its past performance is denied where the record shows that the protester was clearly aware of the agency's concerns and shows that the agency expressly asked about protester's alleged poor performance of the earlier contract during written discussions. DECISION IGIT, Inc. protests the decision of the Department of the Army to award a contract to Penn Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. DABT31-95- R-0017, for laundry and dry cleaning services at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. IGIT argues that the Army's decision to award to Penn is based on bias against IGIT, which translated to an unreasonable evaluation of the past performance portion of each offeror's proposal. IGIT also claims that the Army failed to hold meaningful discussions with it regarding its proposal. We deny the protest.
