DECISION
Amentum Services, Inc., of Germantown, Maryland, protests the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration's (NASA) award of a contract to PAE Applied Technologies
LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No.
80JSC020R0034, to provide operation and maintenance services for the Lyndon B.

failed to properly evaluate offerors' proposals with regard to past performance and
mission capability, and failed to conduct meaningful discussions.

We deny the protest.
