          DIGEST

          Protest that agency should have assigned the highest evaluation rating to the
          protester's past performance is denied, where the solicitation provided that past
          performance in the Mid-Atlantic region would be considered most relevant and
          where the protester identified one contract in the Mid-Atlantic region, which it had
          been performing for only 1 month.
