          DIGEST

          Where  protester's cost proposal for performance of a task order indicated that
          approximately 78 percent of its personnel costs would be incurred for subcontractor

          simulation services. The protester argues that the agency improperly rejected its
          proposal as technically unacceptable.

          We  deny the protest.
