          Matter of: Ready Transportation, Inc.

          File:        B-285283.3; B-285283.4

          Timothy C. Riley, Esq., Riley & Riley, for the protester.

          DIGEST

          1. Protest that contracting agency improperly evaluated proposals with respect to
          past performance is denied where the record shows the evaluation was reasonable
          and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria; mere disagreement with the
          agency's evaluation is insufficient to show it was unreasonable.

          2. Protest that contracting agency implemented solicitation's evaluation scheme in a
          mechanical manner that resulted in an irrational source selection decision is denied
          where the record shows the allegation is without basis.

          (RFP) No. JD-5252-SH, issued by the Department of the Army, Military Traffic

          performance and implemented the evaluation scheme in a mechanical manner that
          resulted in an irrational source selection decision.

          We deny the protests.

          The GT program is a transportation management tool under which MTMC issues a
          request for rate tenders for all the traffic for particular routes for a specific period of
