This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: ST Aerospace Engines Pte. Ltd. File: B-275725 Date: March 19, 1997 Arthur I. Leaderman, Esq., Smith, Pachter, McWhorter & D'Ambrosio, P.L.C., for the protester. Steven V. Hagberg, Esq., Mark W. Peery, Esq., and Karl A. Oliver, Esq., Mahoney, Hagberg & Rice, for Standard Aero Ltd., an intervenor. B. J. Braun, Esq., U.S. Coast Guard, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-Mc Grail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency erred in downgrading protester on the basis of negative past performance information pertaining to its affiliate where record does not establish relevance of affiliate's past performance to likelihood of successful performance by protester; because the affiliate's negative past performance was the determinative factor in the decision not to award to protester, agency was required to raise the issue with the protester during discussions. DECISION ST Aerospace Engines Pte. Ltd. (STA Engines) protests the award of a contract to Standard Aero Ltd. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DTCG38-94-R-30006, issued by the U. S. Coast Guard, Department of Transportation, for the overhaul and repair of C-130 T56 engine reduction gearboxes and torquemeters. The protester contends that its proposal was improperly downgraded based on negative past performance information pertaining to one of its affiliates that had not been discussed with it. We sustain the protest. The RFP sought offers for the overhaul and repair of the reduction gearboxes and torquemeters used in the T56 engines aboard Coast Guard C-130 aircraft. The solicitation provided for award to the responsible offeror whose combination of technical merit and proposed price represented the greatest value to the government, with the former carrying greater weight in the selection process than 1217422
