           File:        B-410491 ; B-410491.2

           Date:       January 7, 2015

           Joseph P. Dirik, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, for the protester.
           Ralph C. Thomas III, Esq., Barton, Baker, Thomas & Tolle, LLP, for the intervenor.
           Richard J. McCarthy, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the
           agency.
           Young S. Lee, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
           participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest alleging that agency was required to refer awardee to the Small Business
           Administration (SBA) for a size determination is denied where the agency
           reasonably concluded the awardee's proposal does not, on its face, indicate that the
           proposal violates ostensible subcontractor rule.

           2. Protest challenging agency's affirmative responsibility determination is denied
           where the protester's allegations do not establish that the contracting officer failed
           to consider available relevant information.

           3. Protest challenging an agency's technical evaluation is denied where the record
           was adequately documented to show that the evaluation was reasonable and
           consistent with the terms of the solicitation.

           4. Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's past performance is denied
           where the solicitation did not prevent the agency from considering subcontractor
           performance and the protester has not demonstrated that it was prejudiced by any
           error.
