          Decision

          Matter of:  Triple Canopy, Inc.

          File:       B-400437

          Date:       November  13, 2008

          Kelley P. Doran, Esq., G. Matthew Koehl, Esq., Sean P. Bamford, Esq., Victor G.
          Vogel, Esq., and Michael F. Scanlon, Esq., K&L Gates LLP, for the protester.
          Timothy B. Mills, Esq., Maggs & McDermott LLC, for Sabre International Security,
          an intervenor.
          Maj. William J. Nelson, Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Where, prior to the submission of proposals, the agency expressly advised
          offerors that it would not require contractors to obtain facilities security clearances
          to perform task order requirements, protest that awardee was ineligible for task
          order award on the basis that it does not hold a facilities clearance is essentially an
          untimely challenge to the terms of the solicitation.

          2. Protest that agency failed to reasonably evaluate the past performance of
          protester and awardee is denied where agency's past performance evaluation record
          is consistent with solicitation's definition of relevant past performance, contains
          adequate contemporaneous documentation supporting the agency's assessments,
          and the opinions of protester's personnel regarding the awardee's prior performance
          provide no credible basis to question the reasonableness of the agency's
          assessments.

          DECISION

          Triple Canopy, Inc. of Herndon, Virginia, protests the award of a task order by the
          Department of the Army, Joint Contracting Command -- Iraq/Afghanistan, to Sabre
          International Security of Baghdad, Iraq, for security services at forward operating
