         DIGEST

         Protest that agency improperly evaluated awardee's past performance and declined
         to pay a price premium for protester's superior past performance is denied, where
         the agency's evaluation and tradeoff decision were reasonable and consistent with
         the solicitation.
         DECISION

         American Auto Logistics LP (AAL), of Park Ridge, New Jersey, protests the award
         of a contract to International Auto Logistics LLC (IAL) of Brunswick, Georgia, under
         request for proposals (RFP) No. HTC711-13-R-R003, issued by the United States
         Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) for the global transportation of privately
         owned vehicles (POV) for military and civilian employees of the Department of
         Defense (DOD). AAL, the incumbent contractor for this work, challenges the
         agency's evaluation of IAL's past performance and the tradeoff decision.

         We deny the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The RFQ, issued as a solicitation for commercial items, sought a contractor to
         globally transport POVs of military service members and DOD civilian employees.
