          Date:        December 11, 2000


          Walter Bull for the protester.
          Lt. Col. LeEllen Coacher, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.

          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably determined protester's past performance deserved a very good
          rating, based on the references in the protester's proposal, rather than the
          exceptional rating the protester asserted it deserved.
          DECISION

          Sterling Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Northwest Florida
          Facilities Management, Inc. (NFFM) under request for proposals (RFP) No. F08637-
          00-R-7007, issued by the Department of the Air Force, for transient aircraft services
          for Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), Florida.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price contract for a base period of 1 year
          with four 1-year options. The successful contractor is required to provide all
          personnel, equipment, tools, supervision and other items required to perform the
          transient aircraft services. RFP at 2-4.

          Offerors were informed that the agency would utilize a Technically Acceptable-
          Performance/Price Tradeoff (TA-PPT) source selection procedure to select the
          proposal that represented the best value to the government. RFP at 23. The RFP
          explained that under the TA-PPT procedure, the proposals would be evaluated for
          technical acceptability under the staffing/equipment and quality control plan
          evaluation criteria, and that the proposals would be evaluated under the past
          performance criterion as either exceptional/high confidence, very go o d/signific ant
