          Decision

          Matter of: JWK International Corporation

          File:        B-297758.3

          Date:        August 31, 2006

          Wayne A. Keup, Esq., for the protester.
          David B. Dempsey, Esq., and Kristen E. Ittig, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for Four
          Winds Services, Inc., an intervenor.
          Major Jeffrey Branstetter, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
          Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the
          General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that agency should have considered experience of protester's proposed
          key personnel in evaluating protester's past performance is denied where record
          demonstrates that agency had a reasonable basis for deciding not to consider the
          qualifications of individual employees under the past performance evaluation factor.

          2. Agency reasonably determined that exceptional performance by protester's
          proposed subcontractor on contracts that involved only a portion of the work
          required under the solicitation was insufficient to demonstrate that protester could
          be expected to perform the effort solicited at issue successfully.
          DECISION

          JWK International Corporation (JWK) protests the failure of the Department of the
          Air Force to select its proposal for award under request for proposals (RFP) No.
          FA8601-05-R-0050, for fuels management services at Wright-Patterson Air Force
          Base, Ohio. This protest follows the agency's reevaluation of proposals and
          reselection of an awardee in response to our decision sustaining a protest by United
          Paradyne Corporation (UPC). United Paradvne Corp., B-297758, Mar. 10, 2006,
          2006 CPD    47. JWK argues that the Air Force's evaluation of its past performance
          and the agency's best value tradeoff determination were unreasonable.


We deny the protest.
