         Decision


         Matter of: J&E Associates, Inc.

         File:      B-283448

         Date:      November 3, 1999


         Barbara S. Kino sky, Esq., Karen R. Harbaugh, Esq., and James S. DelSordo, Esq.,
         Williams Mullen Clark & Dobbins, for the protester.
         John R. Osing, Jr., Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
         Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Protest is denied where the protester fails to meaningfully challenge the evaluation
         of its past performance and where the awards were made in accordance with the
         terms of the solicitation.
         DECISION

         J&E Associates, Inc. protests the awards of contracts to Hunter Medical, Inc.,
         Sterling Medical Associates, and Chesapeake Center, Inc., under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. N62645-99-R-0001, issued by the Naval Medical Logistics
         Command, Department of the Navy, for multi-disciplinary healthcare worker
         services for government medical treatment facilities in the Portsmouth, Virginia area.
         J&E essentially challenges the agency's past performance evaluation of its proposal
         and the award decisions.

         We deny the protest.

         The RFP, as amended, contemplated the award of three indefinite-
         delivery/indefinite-quantity, fixed-price task order contracts to those offerors whose
         proposals were determined most advantageous to the government, technical
         evaluation factors and price considered. RFP amend. 5, at 5 and attach. 1, at 3. The
         RFP listed two technical evaluation factors--past performance and management plan
         for recruitment and retention. (The former was twice as important as the latter.)
         RFP at 77, 80.
