DIGEST
1. Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation is denied where the
record shows that the agency evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms
of the solicitation.
2. Where agency did not conclude that awardee's indirect cost rates were
unrealistically low, agency was not required to consider if there was performance risk
associated with those rates.
DECISION
Tech Systems, Inc. (TSI), a small business of Tysons, Virginia, protests the issuance of
a task order to Westech International, Inc. (Westech), a small business of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W519TC-23-R-001 8, issued by the
Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command, for logistics support services at
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii (SBHI). The protester contends that the agency's evaluation
of the awardee's proposal and the source selection decision were unreasonable.

We deny the protest.
