Agency Reasonably Concluded Awardee’s Superior Past Performance Warranted $3 Million Price Premium Over 15-Year Contract; COFC No. 17-427C, Supplycore Inc., v. The United States and S&K Aerospace, LLC

Protest of the agency’s past performance evaluation is denied, where the solicitation put offerors on notice that past performance references would be evaluated against the measures of merit used to evaluate technical proposals; and protest challenging the best value tradeoff decision is denied, where the agency reasonably concluded that the awardee’s superior past performance rating warranted a $3 million price premium over the course of the 15-year contract.
