          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is denied,
          where  the evaluation was consistent with the solicitation evaluation criteria.
          DECISION

          SEB. CO.  Costruzioni S.a.s. / CO. PEL. S.a.s. / C.D.M. S.r.l., a Joint Venture, (JVSCC)
          protests the award of a contract to La Termica S.r.l. under request for proposals
          (RFP)  No. N33191-07-R-1001, issued by the Department of the Navy for construction

          construction, alteration, repair and/or improvement of existing Navy facilities in
          southern Italy. Offerors were informed that award would be made on a best-value
          basis, considering the following five evaluation factors: organizational and team
          experience; organizational past performance; management approach; safety; and
          price. The RFP provided proposal preparation instructions for each of the
          evaluation factors and stated that the individual non-price factors were equal to each
          other in importance and, when combined, were approximately equal in importance
          to price. RFP amend. 1, at 32-33, 34-39. Offerors were also informed that technical
          proposals were limited to 20 pages in length, RFP amend. 1, at 30, but that the page
