          Decision


          Matter of: CWIS, LLC

          File:       B-287521

          Date:       July 2, 2001

          David G. Ramagos for the protester.
          Daryle A. Jordan, Esq., Patrick Henry Cappell & Lewis, for Innovative Strategies and
          Solutions, Inc., the intervenor.
          Virginia K. Stephens Ackerman, Esq., Department of Housing & Urban Development,
          for the agency.
          John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Agency's evaluation of protester's past performance was reasonable where
          protester does not dispute that certain aspects of its performance on a previous
          contract were deficient and the agency reasonably considered the corrective
          measures taken by the protester to rectify the deficient performance.

          2. Agency's cost realism evaluation of protester's proposal that resulted in an
          upwards adjustment of proposed costs for airfare was reasonable where agency
          accounted for considerations relevant to performance of contract, such as travel
          being required on short notice and to cities that are not served by the airline on
          which protester's proposed fares were based.
          DECISION

          CWIS, LLC protests the award of a contract to Innovative Strategies and Solutions,
          Inc. (ISSI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-OPC-21598, issued by the
          Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to obtain assistance in the
          monitoring and enforcement of the manufactured housing program, and in
          conducting workshops, training, and programs for program participants. CWIS
          argues that the agency's evaluation of its past performance and cost, and the
          selection of ISSI's proposal for award, were unreasonable.


We deny the protest.
