Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's final revised offer (FRO) under certain technical evaluation factors is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable; the fact that the protester's FRO received a slightly lower technical rating than the protester's previous offer, even though the protester's FRO and previous offer were substantially the same, does not establish that the FRO evaluation was unreasonable.<p/>2. Agency complied with Federal Acquisition Regulation sect. 42.1503(e), which provides that "past performance information shall not be retained to provide source selection information for longer than 3 years after completion of contract performance," even though it considered all of the protester's 5-year past performance history under the predecessor contract, because the past performance evaluation took place within 3 years of completion of that contract's performance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-280767-4/html/GAOREPORTS-B-280767-4.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-280767-4/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-280767-4.pdf GAO/B-280767.4 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-280767-4 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-280767.4; D.F.
