          DIGEST

          Protest of evaluation of protester's proposal as equal, rather than superior, to
          awardee's for past performance is denied where (1) protester's proposal was
          reasonably downgraded for failure to include past performance information required
          by solicitation amendment, and (2) since awardee was a new company, agency could
          reasonably consider awardee's key personnel's experience in evaluating awardee's
          past performance.
          DECISION

          General Atomics (GA) protests the General Services Administration's (GSA)
          issuance of a task order to Engineering & Software System Solutions (ES3) under

          Spare Parts Production and Reprocurement Support system (SPARES) at Hill Air
          Force Base (Hill AFB), Utah. GA challenges the evaluation of past performance and
          cost.

          We deny the protest.
