          File:       B-409475.4; B-409475.5

          Date:       September 25, 2014

          Bryan R. King, Esq., and Todd R. Overman, Esq., Bass Berry & Sims, PLC, for the
          protester.
          Michael J. Kraycinovich, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Mary G. Curcio, Esq., Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the
          General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Agency's consideration of strengths associated with proposed subcontractor's
          performance is reasonable where agency found that subcontractor would be
          providing critical services.

          2. Where solicitation included conflicting definitions of major subcontractor for
          purposes of the past performance evaluation, thus creating a patent ambiguity,
          protest that agency improperly evaluated on the basis of one of the definitions rather
          than the other is denied; in such situations an offeror may not simply make unilateral
          assumptions regarding the meaning of patently ambiguous terms in the solicitation
          and then expect relief when the agency does not act in the manner assumed.
          DECISION

          Superior Government Solutions, of Gaithersburg, Maryland, protests the Department
          of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Command's, award of a contract to Engineering and
          Computer Simulations (ECS), of Orlando, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. W900KK-1 3-R-0022, for support services for the Air Force Medical Modeling
          and Simulation Training Program. Superior asserts that the agency unreasonably
          evaluated ECS's proposal.


We deny the protest.
