          Kenneth T. Roberts, Esq., Roberts & Bishop, for the protester.
          John D. Inazu, Esq., and Russell R. Sibbel, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the

          DIGEST

          Under solicitation that provided that submission of fewer than three questionnaires
          from offeror's past performance references could be regarded as inadequate to
          evaluate offeror's past performance, agency reasonably assigned past performance
          rating of neutral/unknown confidence to offeror for whom it received only one
          relevant contract reference.
          DECISION

          Thomas Brand Siding Company, Inc. protests the evaluation of its proposal under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. F25600-00-R0145, issued by the Department of the
          Air Force for military family housing maintenance services at Offutt Air Force Base,
          Nebraska. Specifically, the protester objects to the agency's rating of its past
          performance as neutral/unknown confidence.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, which was issued on September 15, 2000, contemplated the award of a
          requirements contract for a base period of 10 months and four option periods of
          1 year each. Services to be performed include quarters cleaning, painting, refinishing
          of hardwood floors, refinishing and replacement of bathroom fixtures, replacement
          of outlets, and appliance replacement. The solicitation provided that two factors,
          past performance and price, would be considered in the evalution of proposals, with
          past performance of significantly greater importance than price.

          To facilitate evaluation of their past performance, offerors were instructed to
          identify not more than five recent, simultaneously-managed, multi-discipline service
