DIGEST

Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's past performance is
denied where the record shows that the agency looked beyond the adjectival ratings to
evaluate the comparative merit of the quotations, and the agency considered the
complexity of the referenced efforts in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation
criteria.

protests the award of a contract to LOGMET, LLC, of Austin, Texas, under request for
