          DIGEST

          In a negotiated procurement which provided for award on the basis of a price/past
          performance tradeoff assessment, protest challenging the selection of the awardee
          on the basis of that firm's lower proposed priced is denied, where the protester's and
          awardee's past performance reasonably received equal ratings.
          DECISION

          LLH & Associates, LLC protests the award of a contract to Alpha-Omega Change
          Engineering, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA4890-05-R-0173, issued by
          the Department of the Air Force for services supporting the agency's foreign military
          sales programs.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued as a small business set-aside, provided for the award of a fixed-price
          contract for a base year with 4 option years for services supporting the agency's Air
          Combat Command, Security Assistance Branch. The RFP's statement of work
          (SOW) required the contractor to provide the following personnel in performance of
          the contract: an international fighter program manager, an exercises program
          manager, and an aircraft ferry support program manager. RFP, amend. 2, SOW, at 3.
          Required technical skills and qualifications were identified for each of these three
          managers. Id. at 7-8. The SOW further provided:

                4.4.2 Contractor Employee Resume Requirements. Personnel
                provided under this SOW are critical to the mission of the Air Force
