Crosby, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that awardee's pricing is unbalanced under a solicitation for the award of an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is dismissed as untimely where the protest concerns the solicitation's estimates and price evaluation methodology but the protester failed to challenge these terms before the solicitation's closing date. 2. Protest challenging agency's relevancy determinations for the awardee's past performance efforts is sustained where the solicitation required an assessment of the magnitude of the offerors' past efforts relative to the solicited requirement and where the record fails to show how the awardee's comparatively low-value past efforts reasonably could have been assessed as somewhat relevant. DECISION XPO Logistics Worldwide Government Services, LLC, of High Point, North Carolina, protests the award of a contract to Crowley Logistics, Inc., of Jacksonville, Florida, by the Department of Defense, United States Transportation Command, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HTC711-15-R-R003 for freight transportation services. XPO alleges that the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and that its best-value tradeoff was flawed.
