          DIGEST

          1. In evaluating past performance, agency reasonably downgraded incumbent
          contractor because of specific do cumented problems attributed to incumbent
          contractor's performance of predecessor contract.

          2. 'Where solicitation advised offerors that agency intended to award contract on the
          basis of initial proposals, agency reasonably concluded that award could not be
          made to protester on the basis of a proposal that contained conflicting information
          regarding compliance with a material contract requirement.

          3. Agency's intent to obtain required Defense Security Cooperation Agency's (DSCA)
          determination prior to issuing task orders for foreign military sales customers, rather
          than prior to award of requirements contract, does not provide a basis to sustain
          protest, where agency's approach is consistent with the advice and direction of
          DSCA.
