Zymelman, Esq., and Kevin M. Hodges, Esq., Williams & Connolly; and John S. Pachter, Esq., Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., and Christina M.

Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's contention that agency improperly evaluated proposals is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the evaluators' conclusions. 2. Allegation that the agency's source selection advisory council (SSAC) improperly changed the source selection evaluation board's (SSEB) rating of protester's proposal for trainer aircraft under the system safety evaluation factor from blue (exceptional) to green (acceptable) is denied, where the record shows that the SSEB's rating was primarily based on the protester's twin-engine design, and, despite a specific request from the SSAC, the SSEB could not convince the SSAC that a twin-engine design resulted in a safer aircraft. 3. Contracting agency reasonably evaluated protester's performance risk based upon unfavorable information in contractor performance assessment reports and in responses to questionnaires reflecting the protester's recent poor performance on other contracts.
