             Matter of: TMI Services, Inc.

             File:        B-276624.2

             Date:        July 9, 1997

             Timothy H. Power, Esq., for the protester.
             Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., Theodore M. Bailey, P.C., for Selrico Services, Inc., an
             interveno r.
             Elizabeth Rivera Bagwell, Esq., Department of the Navy, 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

             Protester's contention that agency evaluation of past performance is unreasonable is
             denied where the agency performed a new past performance review in response to
             the initial protest filing, and protester does not acknowledge the amended review or
             provide any basis to conclude that the evaluation is unreasonable.
             DECISION

             TMI Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Selrico Services, Inc. by the
             Department of the Navy, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. N00604-96-R-
             0052, seeking mess attendant services to clean the dining halls and serve food at the
             Navy Submarine Base Galley, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. TMI claims, in general, that the
             Navy's past performance evaluation was unreasonable, and that TMI, not Selrico,
             should have been selected for award.

             We deny the protest.

             The Navy issued the RFP on September 19, 1996, as a total small business set-aside.
             The RFP anticipated award of a fixed-price contract with a base period and three
             1-year options to the offeror whose technically acceptable proposal presented the
             best value to the government, considering past performance and price. The
             evaluation scheme stated that past performance would be more important than
             price unless the competing proposals were rated equally in the area of past
             performance, in which case price would be the determining factor.
