This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Northeast MEP Services, Inc. File: B-285963.5; B-285963.7; B-285963.8 Date: January 5, 2001 William A. Shook, Esq., Kelley P. Doran, Esq., and Gary J. Campbell, Esq., Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds, for the protester. Jay P. Urwitz, Esq., David A. Wilson, Esq., Barry J.

Roan, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the evaluation of technical proposals is denied where the contemporaneous evaluation record, hearing testimony of the evaluation board chair, and arguments of the parties establish that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accord with the evaluation criteria. 2. Agency's assessment of the awardee's past performance as very good and the protester's as good was reasonable, where the agency considered the awardee's lower-rated performance of the incumbent contract together with its exceptional ratings of other significant, relevant contracts and found that the protester's past performance did not include efforts that were comparable in size, scope and complexity to the work to be awarded under the solicitation. DECISION Northeast MEP Services, Inc. (NEMEP) protests the award of a contract to the Center for Technology Commercialization (CTC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. RFP2-37066-CDT, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the operation and maintenance of the Northeast Regional Technology Transfer Center (RTTC). NEMEP challenges the evaluation of its technical proposal. We deny the protest.
