          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          An agency reasonably determined that protester was not responsible based on
          protester's documented negative past performance, including a termination for
          default.
          DECISION

          M. Erdal Kamisli Co. Ltd. (ERKA Co., Ltd.), of Adana, Turkey, protests the rejection
          of its proposal and the award of contracts to five other firms, under request for
          proposals (RFP) No. W912GB-10-R-0011, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S.
          Army  Corps of Engineers, for real property repair, maintenance, construction, and
          related services. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals,
          conduct of discussions, and negative determination of ERKA's responsibility.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND
