handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaodm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity* Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Dan River, Inc. File: B-289613 Date: April 5, 2002 Christopher M. Okay, Esq., for the protester. Douglas E. Eckert, Esq., Bradley, Arant, Rose & White, for Russell Corporation, an intervenor. Katherine A. Day, Esq., Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined that awardee had performed contracts similar or relevant to the current requirement, as provided under solicitation's past performance evaluation factor, where, although those contracts were of lesser dollar value, they were for similar item, and solicitation did not define similar or relevant in terms of dollar value. DECISION Dan River, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Russell Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. TX00093-02, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), for the manufacture of a quantity of woven shirting fabric conforming to military specification MIL-C-43992B. Dan River maintains that the agency misevaluated Russell's past performance.' We deny the protest. 1 Dan River raised numerous additional arguments (for example, that the agency improperly extended the deadline for submitting proposals to accommodate Russell's submission of a late proposal) in its initial protest. The agency responded to those arguments and Dan River did not rebut the agency's position in its comments. Under the circumstances, we deem these arguments abandoned. Hedgecock Elec., Inc., B-285655, Sept. 8, 2000, 2000 CPD 142 at 4-5, n.3.
