           DIGEST

           1. Agency reasonably concluded that protester's proposal failed to comply with
           solicitation requirements where solicitation required that certain mandatory
           capabilities be embodied in aircraft and required delivery of first aircraft 12 months
           after award, but protester's proposal provided that it would not deliver aircraft
           equipped with the mandatory requirements until more than 4 years after award.

           2. Agency meaningfully advised protester that its proposal failed to comply with
           solicitation's mandatory requirements when it asked protester how it intended to

           3. Agency reasonably limited its evaluation of offerors' production capability to the
           criterion identified in the solicitation.
