Matter of:  Hughes Coleman, JV

File:       B-417787.5

Date:       July 29, 2020

Kenneth A. Martin, Esq., The Martin Law Firm, PLLC, for the protester.
Peter B. Ford, Esq., Timothy F. Valley, Esq., and Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., Piliero
Mazza PLLC, for Pegasus Support Services, LLC, the intervenor.
Captain Jeremy D. Burkhart, Zachary F. Jacobson, Esq., and Stephen Hernandez,
Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the evaluation of past performance is denied where the
evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.

2. Protest that the agency failed to explain the basis for selecting a higher-priced,
higher-rated proposal for award is denied where the agency reasonably identified the
advantages associated with the awardee's proposal that merited its higher price.
DECISION

Hughes Coleman JV (HCJV), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business
(SDVOSB), of Tacoma, Washington, protests the award of a contract to Pegasus
Support Services, LLC (PSS), of Woodstock, Georgia, also an SDVOSB, by the
Department of the Army, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9124M-1 9-R-001 7,
for base operations and maintenance support services. HCJV argues that the agency
unreasonably evaluated the offerors' past performance and made an unreasonable
award decision.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The Army issued the RFP on June 14, 2019, seeking proposals to provide base
operations and maintenance support services at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and Hunter
