             DIGEST

             Evaluation of offeror's past performance was reasonable where it was performed in
             accordance with stated evaluation criteria and reflected valid assessment of
             offeror's experience.
             DECISION

             Hard Bodies, Inc. (J1BI) protests the award of a contract to FMF Corporation under
             request for proposals (RFP) No. N00600-97-R-2454, issued by the Department of the
             Navy as a total small business set-aside for operation of a fitness/wellness center at
             the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington, D.C. 1BI challenges the RFP
             evaluation criteria and their application by the agency.

             We deny the protest.

             This procurement is for the management and operation of a fitness/wellness center
             for approximately 1,250 military and civilian Naval personnel. The successful
             offeror will be responsible for staffing the center; facilitating participation through a
             predetermined application process; planning, organizing, and coordinating
             wellness/intervention programs and activities; and evaluating program activities and
             submitting regular reports. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price
             contract for a base year with 4 option years.

             The original RFP provided for award to the offeror submitting the lowest-priced,
             technically acceptable proposal. Prior to the closing date, the agency amended the
             RFP (amendment No. 0001) to change the basis of award and the evaluation
             criteria. As amended, section M.5 of the RFP provided for the evaluation of past
             performance to evaluate the relative capability of the offeror to meet the RFP
             requirements. While the RFP called for evaluation and consideration of the past
             performance of significant or critical subcontractors, the RFP specifically provided
