          DIGEST

          Protest of agency's evaluation of past performance and source selection decision is
          denied where record shows that evaluation and award decision were reasonable and
          consistent with terms of solicitation.
          DECISION

          JXM Inc., of San Antonio, Texas, protests the award of a contract to General Trades
          & Services, Inc. (GTS), of Waipahu, Hawaii, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. F4613-08-R-0002, issued by the Department of the Air Force for base housing
          management  and services at Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. JXM maintains that
          the awardee's past performance was not evaluated in accordance with the RFP.

          We deny the protest.

          There were two evaluation factors under the RFP--price and past performance,
          which were approximately equal in weight, and award was to be based on a
          Performance Price Trade-Off (PPT). The past performance evaluation was based on
          prior contracts, which were assessed for relevance and quality of performance,
          resulting in a performance confidence assessment. RFP at 28. Under the RFP, a
          contract was relevant where the Past/present performance effort involved much of
          the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires, and somewhat
          relevant where Past/present performance effort involved some of the magnitude of
          effort and complexities this solicitation requires. RFP at 28-30. A substantial
          confidence rating was to be assigned where, Based on the offeror's performance
