         William E. Hughes III, Esq., Whyte, Hirschboeck, Dudek, for Safety-Kleen, Inc., an
         intervenor.

         DIGEST

         Agency reasonably evaluated protester's past performance as fair under a
         solicitation for a hazardous waste disposal contract based on the protester's good
         performance on its prior contracts that did not require the handling of the large
         quantities and the numerous varieties of waste at a large number of performance
         locations as required by the solicitation, as compared to the awardee's good past
         performance on contracts very similar in size and scope to the solicited work.
         DECISION

         Clean Venture, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Safety-Kleen, Inc., under
         request for proposals (RFP) No. SP4400-99-R-0004, issued by the Defense Logistics
         Agency (DLA), Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS), for hazardous
         waste disposal services at various military facilities. Clean Venture protests the
         evaluation of its past performance.

         We deny the protest.

         The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract for an
         18-month base period with 3 option years. RFP § L.2, amend. 11 at 2. The RFP
         required the contractor to dispose of approximately 5.1 million pounds of waste
         during the base period and approximately 3.1 million pounds of waste during each
         option period. RFP Bid Schedule, as amended, at 22-89. The RFP required the
         contractor to pick up waste from 263 locations in the District of Columbia, Maryland,
