This redacted version has been approved for public release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------. Matter of: TRW, Inc. File: B-282162; B-282162.2 Date: June 9, 1999 C. Stanley Dees, Esq., Patrick K O'Keefe, Esq., and Richard P. Castiglia, Jr., Esq., McKenna & Cuneo, for the protester. Thomas P. Humphrey, Esq., Robert M. Halperin, Esq., Joseph W.C. Warren, Esq., Tejpal Singh Chawla, Esq., and Deborah W. Feinstein, Esq., Crowell & Moring, for Motorola, Inc., the intervenor. Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and James R. McMurry, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's evaluation of the awardee's past performance was reasonable where the agency investigated and evaluated each of the contracts referenced in the awardee's proposal; other information regarding the awardee's allegedly deficient prior performance on subcontracts was not so close at hand that it had to be considered by the agency. 2. Protest that the agency's cost realism evaluation of the awardee's proposal was unreasonable is denied where the evaluation was detailed, well-documented, and reasonably performed, and the protester only generally asserts that the awardee's proposed staffing level may be too low. 3. Protest that the agency should have excluded the awardee from the competition because a subcontractor, proposed by the awardee in its initial proposal but omitted from its revised proposals, allegedly has a conflict of interest is denied where the subcontractor did not participate in the preparation of the solicitation and there is no substantial evidence establishing that the awardee obtained an unfair competitive advantage from the subcontractor's participation in the preparation of the awardee's initial proposal.
