         Matter of:   Global Dimensions, LLC

         File:        B-411288

         Date:        June 30, 2015

         Michael J. Gardner, Esq., and Shomari Brock Wade, Esq., Troutman Sanders LLP,
         for the protester.
         Lt. Col. James. H. Kennedy, III, Lt. Col. Mark E. Allen, Maj. Carlos M. De Dios, and
         Capt. Joshua A. Roman, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
         Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's proposed candidate for military
         exercise planning position under requirement for 5 years of exercise planning
         experience is denied where evaluators reasonably concluded that although the
         candidate's job title specifically included exercise planning for only 2 years, the
         candidate's experience in the prior 3 years included exercise planning responsibility.

         2. Protest that agency misevaluated awardee's past performance as relevant is
         denied where evaluators recognized awardee's performance record did not include
         the specific services at issue, but nevertheless reasonably concluded that its
         performance record was relevant, and where evaluators' consideration of major
         subcontractor's past performance on highly-relevant contracts was consistent with
         solicitation's terms.
         DECISION

         Global Dimensions, LLC, of Fredericksburg, Virginia, a small business, protests the
         award of a contract to Bluehawk Intelligence Services, LLC, of West Palm Beach,
         Florida, by the Department of the Air Force under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. FA4814-15-R-0001 for commercial exercise planning and translation services
         for the United States Central Command headquarters at McDill Air Force Base in
         Florida. Global argues that the Air Force misevaluated Bluehawk's proposal and
         made an unreasonable source selection decision.


We deny the protest.
