Protester's challenge to the evaluation of its past performance is denied where the record shows that the agency made reasonable efforts to contact the required minimum of three past performance references, and ultimately used a neutral rating for the reference it was unable to reach.<p/>2. Agency's post-protest recalculation of the protester's past performance score, and corresponding redetermination that the awardee's proposal still represents the best value to the government, will be considered where the reevaluation is limited in scope, primarily involves a straightforward recalculation with little room for subjective judgment, and there is nothing in the record to support a conclusion that the resulting increase in the protester's score would materially alter the agency's selection decision. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-289592/html/GAOREPORTS-B-289592.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-289592/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-289592.pdf GAO/B-289592 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-289592 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-289592; Chicataw Construction, Inc., B-289592; B-289592.2, March 20, 2002;
