          File:        B-401924; B-401924.2

          J. William Koegel, Esq., Steven J. Barber, Esq., Paul R. Hurst, Esq., and

          DIGEST

          1. Agency's determination that awardee's proposal was technically superior to
          protester's properly reflects the agency's consideration of matters that were
          reasonably encompassed  within the solicitation's stated evaluation factors.

          2. Protester's various arguments regarding the agency's judgments and ratings

          sustaining the protest.

          3. Protest that awardee improperly obtained protester's proprietary information
          from protester's former employee will not be reviewed where protester failed to
          comply with the statutory 14-day reporting requirement regarding an alleged
          procurement integrity violation.
