         DIGEST

         Protest of solicitation provision indicating that past performance evaluation will
         consider only corporate past performance and not past performance of key
         personnel is denied; protester has not shown this evaluation scheme to be
         unreasonable or inconsistent with applic able regulation.
         DECISION

         Olympus Building Services, Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP)
         No. N00600-99-R-1335, issued by the Department of the Navy forjanitorial services at
         various buildings in the Department of Agriculture headquarters complex in
         Washington, D.C. Olympus argues that the solicitation is defective because the past
         performance evaluation factor is limited to the past performance of the corporate
         offeror and excludes consideration of the past performance of proposed key
         personnel.

         We deny the protest.

         The RFP contemplates the award of a fixed-priced, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-
         quantity contract for a base year, with four 1-year options and provides for award on
         a best-value basis, with technical merit significantly more important than price.
         RFP §§ F.2, L.2, M.3. The technical evaluation factors and subfactors are listed in
         descending order of importance as:
