Yesterday we discussed a bid protest case where the Army erred in its past performance rating. It gave the same past performance rating of “relevant” to Delfasco who was the incumbent and had been producing the same parts for years as it did to the eventual winning bidder, GTI, who lacked relevant past performance with respect to two necessary skills identified in the solicitation and only somewhat relevant on another skill. The GAO blew the whistle on the Army and sustained the protest (see Nonsensical Past Performance Rating).
