         Decision


         Matter of: Birdwell Brothers Painting & Refinishing

         File:       B-285035

         Date:       July 5, 2000


         Barry Birdwell and David K Eary for the protester.
         Theodore M. Bailey, Esq., and Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., for Red River Services
         Co rpo ratio n, an interveno r.
         Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., Warren D. Leishman, Esq., and Capt. Leonard Garner,
         Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
         C. Douglas McArthur, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Evaluation of customer satisfaction was reasonable where it considered specific
         examples of protester's past performance problems noted by government
         inspectors, notwithstanding that the protester was only a subcontractor in those
         examples.

         2. Where the solicitation provided for consideration of comparable services in the
         evaluation of past performance, the source selection authority reasonably could
         consider the advantages of awardee's past performance of contracts of similar size
         and similar scope of work in selecting a contractor for award, even though the
         solicitation did not include a specific subfactor for size of contract or scope of work.
         DECISION

         Birdwell Brothers Painting & Refinishing protests the award of a contract to Red
         River Services Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. F04666-99-R-0002,
         issued by the Department of the Air Force for housing maintenance services.
         Birdwell contends that the agency's evaluation and selection decision were
         unreasonable and inconsistent with the solicitation.


We deny the protest.
