Matter of: Gaver Technologies, Inc. File: B-409535.3 Date: April 2, 2015 Ralph C. Thomas III, Esq., Barton, Baker, Thomas & Tolle, LLP, for the protester. Barbara A. Duncombe, Esq., Suzanne Sumner, Esq., and Casie E. Hollis, Esq., Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, for Peerless Technologies Corporation, the intervenor. James T. Mahoney, Esq., and Kaprice L. Harris, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably rated protester's experience/past performance as high confidence, rather than very high confidence, where very highly pertinent experience was required for the latter rating, and protester's experience was not considered very highly pertinent. 2. Agency did not improperly rely on unstated evaluation factor in finding that awardee had an edge under the experience/past performance factor as a result of its subcontractor's experience as the incumbent. 3. Protester's objection to evaluators' amendment of their technical findings made in connection with their reevaluation of proposals is denied where protester fails to show that amended findings were unreasonable. DECISION Gaver Technologies, Inc., of Frederick, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Peerless Technologies, Inc., of Fairborn, Ohio, under request for proposals (RFP) No. NNC13ZCH020J, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for professional, administrative, computational, and engineering (PACE) services for the Glenn Research Center's (GRC's) Lewis Field, in Cleveland, Ohio, and its associated facility, Plum Brook Station, in Sandusky, Ohio. The protester contends that the agency's source selection decision was flawed.
