         DIGEST

         Agency's best-value award decision was proper where the solicitation provided for a
         competitive source selection decision and permitted the agency to elect to trade
         present/past performance for price.
         DECISION

         IT Enterprise Solutions JV, LLC (ITES),1 of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, protests the
         award of a contract to Valdez International Corporation (Valdez), of Colorado
         Springs, Colorado, by the Department of the Air Force (AF) under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. FA8773-15-R-8007, for Integrated Air Force Network
         Operations Services (IAFNOS). The protester argues that the Air Force
         misevaluated its past performance and performed an improper best-value tradeoff
         analysis.

         We deny the protest.


         1 ITES is a joint venture comprised of Information International Associates, Inc. (Ila)
         and Telos Corporation (Telos).
