Agency Fairly Downgraded Past Performance Rating Due to Protester’s Failure to Submit Required Number of Projects; GAO B-413682.4, The Arcanum Group Inc.

Protest challenging the agency’s evaluation and source selection decision is denied, where the agency was not required to independently verify CPAR adjectival ratings submitted by references for the awardee and where the agency reasonably downgraded the protester’s past performance rating based on its failure to submit references for the required number of similar projects.
