D e c i s i o n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matter of: J. A. Jones Management Services, Inc. File: B-284909.5 Date: October 2, 2000 William A. Roberts III, Esq., William Lieth, Esq., Kevin J. Maynard, Esq., and Eric W. Leonard, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for the protester. Lars E. Anderson, Esq., and Paul N. Wengert, Esq., Venable, Baetjer and Howard; and Thomas J. Madden, Esq., and Johana A. Reed, Esq., Venable, Baetjer, Howard & Civiletti, for Raytheon Technical Services Company, an intervenor. Sharon A. Jenks, Esq., and Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly evaluated offerors' past performance is denied where record reflects that the evaluation ratings are reasonable and were arrived at under an assessment conducted in accordance with the criteria set forth in the solicitation. 2. Selection of higher-rated, higher-priced proposal is unobjectionable where solicitation provided for best-value award with technical and past performance considerations significantly more important than price, and the agency reasonably determined that the superior past performance presented by the higher-rated proposal outweighed the associated slightly higher price. DECISION J. A. Jones Management Services, Inc. protests the Department of the Air Force's award of a contract to Raytheon Technical Services Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. F64605-99-R-0013 for base operating support services at Johnston Atoll. Jones questions the propriety of the agency's past performance evaluations and asserts that the resulting award decision lacks a rational basis. We deny the protest.
