         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's present and past
         performance is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable;
         an agency has the discretion in evaluating present and past performance to
         determine the scope of the performance histories to be considered provided that all
         proposals are evaluated on the same basis and consistent with the terms of the
         solicitation.

         2. The record of the agency's evaluation of the offerors' present and past
         performance was adequate where the documentation allowed our Office to review
         the agency's actions and determinations, and reach a reasoned conclusion as to the
         reasonableness of the agency's evaluation and source selection.

         3. Agency's post-award, post-protest communications with the awardee were not
         discussions where the awardee was neither provided the opportunity nor did it
         attempt to modify its proposal.
