McCullough, Esq., and Michael J. Anstett, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, for the protester. E. Sanderson Hoe, Esq., Jason N. Workmaster, Esq., John W. Sorrenti, Esq., Virginia M. Gomez, Esq., Jason A. Carey, Esq., and Katherine L. Veeder, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, for Balfour Beatty Communities, LLC, an intervenor. John Pettit, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. On a procurement involving the privatization of military family housing, agency was not required to point out adverse past performance on a prior contract because the issue had been previously brought to the offeror's attention during the performance of that contract. 2. Agency is not required to disclose evaluation standards or guidelines for rating proposal features as more desirable or less desirable, since agencies are not required to inform offerors of their specific rating methodology. 3. Agency evaluation of protester's proposal, which had an evaluated strength, as acceptable rather than exceptional under a subfactor was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme. DECISION Arcus Properties, LLC, of El Paso, Texas, protests the selection by the Department of the Air Force, under request for proposals (RFP) No. AFCEE-1 1-0002, of Balfour Beatty Communities LLC, of Newton Square, Pennsylvania, to enter into negotiations for a business arrangement to privatize military family housing at two Air Force installations. Arcus argues that the agency failed to hold meaningful discussions with it and improperly evaluated its proposal.
