           DIGEST

           1. Protest that agency unreasonably rated awardee's proposal under past
           performance evaluation factor is denied where the record supports agency's finding
           and shows that evaluation standards were applied evenly.

           2. Protest that source selection authority overrode technical evaluation is denied
           when record indicates no disagreement between evaluation and source selection
           decision.
           DECISION

           North Florida Shipyards, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida, protests the award of a
           contract to East Coast Repair and Fabrication, LLC of Norfolk, Virginia, under
           request for proposals (RFP) No. N40027-16-R-0042, issued by the Department of
           the Navy for a continuous maintenance availability (CMAV)l on board the USS Iwo
           Jima. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of East Coast's past
           performance.

           1 The term availability, in the context of ship maintenance refers to scheduled
           periods of ship maintenance which require various levels of coordination through
           several activities within the Navy. See qenerally Military Readiness: Progress and
           Challenges in Implementing the Navy's Optimized Fleet Response Plan, GAO-16-
           466R (May 2016). The term availability, and the various types of availabilities, is
           not defined in the RFP.
