This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: PCT Services, Inc File: B-279168 Date: May 12, 1998 Thomas E. Abernathy IV, Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock, for the protester. Marian E. Sullivan, Esq., and Patrick F. Corbin, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's past performance risk assessment is denied where the protester's performance risk rating was reasonably based on the agency's experience with the protester under prior contracts and performance questionnaire responses from other government sources, which reflected the protester's poor performance on other relevant contracts. DECISION PCT Services, Inc. protests the award of three contracts to Riteway, Inc. under requests for proposals (RFP) Nos. F41622-97-0030, F41622-97-R-0032, and F41622-97- R-0036, issued by the Department of the Air Force for commercial hospital aseptic management system (HAMS) services at three Air Force Bases (AFB). PCT contends that the agency's evaluation of its past performance risk was improper. We deny the protest. The RFPs, issued on November 18, 1997, provided for the award of fixed-price contracts for a base period and four 1-year options.1 The RFPs stated that the awardee would be selected on a best value basis considering technical, past performance and price factors; the technical factor was considered most important, 1The RFPs were issued to obtain HAMS services at MacDill, Hill, and Luke AFBs; the 11ll AFB and Luke AFB solicitations were issued as total small business set- asides. The three RFPs have identical provisions regarding the preparation of proposals, the evaluation of proposals, and basis for award.
