Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency properly excluded from consideration some of the protester's descriptions of past performance and a late submitted reference, where the descriptions exceeded the page limit set forth in the solicitation and the agency made reasonable efforts to contact the reference but the reference failed to timely respond. DECISION Sayres and Associates Corporation protests the award of a contract to Navarro Research and Engineering, Inc., issued by the Department of Energy (DOE) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RP36-04FO94027 for administrative and technical support services. Sayres challenges the evaluation of its past performance and the agency's selection of Navarro for award. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued as a section 8(a) set-aside, provided for award of a cost-plus-fixed- fee contract with performance-based incentive fees for a 2-year base period with three 1-year options. The solicitation stated that award would be made on a best value basis, considering technical and price criteria, with the technical criteria being predominant in importance. RFP § M.3. The technical evaluation factors, listed in descending order of importance, included staffing and management approach (50 percent), technical approach (40 percent), and past performance (10 percent). RFP § M.4.
