Agency's evaluation of protester's proposal as moderate risk--rather than as an unknown risk--under past performance factor was unreasonable, where protester tendered a large amount of past performance information, almost all of which the agency determined to be either not recent or not relevant; solicitation required agency to assign an unknown risk rating where offeror tendered "little or no" recent, relevant past performance information.<p/> 2. Agency improperly rated awardee's proposal neutral--instead of downgrading it--under small business participation factor, where record shows that awardee did not meet criteria established in solicitation for assignment of neutral rating, and did not offer meaningful small business participation plan. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297849/html/GAOREPORTS-B-297849.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297849/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-297849.pdf GAO/B-297849 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-297849 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-297849; B-297849, TVI Corporation, April 19, 2006;
