Company Determined to Be Nonresponsible on the Basis of Past Unsatisfactory Performance

A company protested an agency determination that it was nonresponsible and that the competitor awarded the contract was responsible. Determinations of nonresponsibility based on alleged lack of integrity, tenacity, or perseverance are not reviewed, except when bad faith or fraud is alleged. Affirmative determinations of responsibility are not reviewed absent alleged fraud or failure to apply definitive responsibility criteria.
