          Decision

          Matter of:   CMJR, LLC d/b/a Mokatron

          File:        B-405170

          Date:     September 7, 2011

          David A. Rose, Esq., The Rose Consulting Law Firm, LLC, for the protester.
          Christopher S. Cole, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
          Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          In a negotiated procurement that provided for an acceptable/unacceptable technical
          evaluation and a tradeoff between past performance and price, with past
          performance being equally as important as price, agency reasonably awarded a
          contract to the offeror with higher-priced proposal where the agency found that the
          protester's proposal presented more performance risk than the awardee's proposal.
          DECISION

          CMJR, LLC d/b/a Mokatron (Mokatron), of North Las Vegas, Nevada, protests the
          award of a contract to Aero Tech Services Associates, Inc., (Aero Tech) of
          Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8773-1 OR-
          0051, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the operation and maintenance
          of the March Air Reserve Base telecommunication system. Mokatron alleges that
          the agency improperly evaluated its proposal under the past performance evaluation
          factor and reached an improper source selection decision.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The Air Force published the solicitation at issue on August 30, 2010, seeking
          proposals to provide operation and maintenance for the telecommunication system
