           DIGEST

           1. Protest that the agency failed to consider both the variety and quantity of
           amenities offered under the access to amenities subfactor in a lease procurement is
           denied, where the variety and quantity of amenities was reasonably considered in the
           agency's evaluation and selection decision.

           2. Protests arguing that the ultimate selection official, the head of the contracting
           activity here, did not meaningfully consider the evaluated differences in the offerors'
           proposals in her selection decision are denied, where the official implemented our
           prior recommendation by looking beyond the adjectival ratings assigned to the
           offerors' proposals.
           DECISION

           King Farm Associates, LLC, of Vienna, Virginia; One Largo Metro LLC, of Upper
