Protesters Also Benefited From Relaxed Past Performance Evaluation Standard; GAO B-415940.11, Dewberry Crawford Group; Partner 4 Recovery

Protest challenging the agency’s past performance evaluation is denied, where the agency reasonably considered the awardee’s reference similar in scope, size, and complexity to the requirement, even though the specific work was not identical, and where any relaxation of the evaluation criteria also benefited the protesters, because neither submitted a past performance reference on which they had performed as a prime contractor, as required by the solicitation.
