          DIGEST

          1. Protest is sustained, where the agency, in making the award decision, did not
          assess the relative merits of the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria
          identified in the solicitation, which provided for a relative order of importance for
          the various technical requirements, and where the agency did not take into account
          the fact that one of the proposals offered to satisfy more trade space technical
          requirements than the other proposal, even though the solicitation expressly
          requested offerors to satisfy as many of these technical requirements as possible.
