Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging selection decision on basis that evaluators deviated from solicitation's evaluation scheme in evaluating proposals is denied where record shows that, notwithstanding evaluators' actions, source selection authority's evaluation and award decision were consistent with evaluation scheme. 2. Where solicitation provided for assigning evaluation credit for special features in quotations, assertion that agency improperly declined to assign credit to protester's quotation for failure to provide features that were unique or innovative--terms not included in solicitation--is denied; the terms innovative and unique are reasonably related to the term special, and therefore were encompassed by the evaluation factors set forth in solicitation.
