         DIGEST

         1. Protest that awardee's proposal failed to meet a material requirement of the
         solicitation is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded
         that the awardee's proposal met the solicitation requirement.

         2. Protest that agency employed an unstated criterion in evaluating protester's
         experience is denied where the weaknesses identified in the agency's evaluation
         concerned whether  the protester had specific experience directly related to the work
         to be performed under the solicitation, an issue agency reasonably may consider in
         evaluating an offeror's experience, even if such experience is not explicitly called for
         in the solicitation.

         3. Protest that the agency improperly evaluated the protester's proposal under the
         past performance factor is denied where, on the record, there is no basis on which to
         question the reasonableness of the agency's evaluation.
         DECISION

         a contract to AGFA HealthCare Corporation, of Greenville, South Carolina, by the
