RFP Expressly Stated Agency Would Consider Non-Government Past Performance References; GAO B-413990, Access Interpreting Inc.

Protest challenging an agency’s evaluation of an awardee’s proposal is denied, where the solicitation did not prohibit the agency from considering performance references for non-federal agency work, and where the protester was not prejudiced when the agency weighted evaluation factors differently than called for in the solicitation, because its proposal and the awardee’s were rated equally, rendering any weighting issues moot.
