          protester.

          Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that protester's current contract for same type of corrosion prevention
          services as required by solicitation should have been assigned a performance rating
          and carried greater weight in past performance evaluation, is denied where record
          shows administrator of that contract reasonably determined that no meaningful
          performance rating was possible because protester had performed relatively small
          portion of the work under that contract.

          2. Protest that awardee's performance under contract for corrosion prevention

          services, is denied where solicitation language did not limit relevant contracts to
          those for aircraft corrosion prevention services.

          Air Force, Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina, for aircraft corrosion
          prevention cleaning services. SWR principally challenges the Air Force's evaluation
          of its and USL's past performance/performance risk.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued June 23, 2003 as a set-aside for historically underutilized business
          zone (HUBZone) business concerns, contemplated the award of a fixed-price
          requirements contract for a base year, with four 1-year options. The RFP provided
