          DIGEST

          1. Protest that the agency's evaluation of the protester's technical proposal was
          unreasonable because the agency reached different evaluation conclusions in a
          related procurement is denied, where the procurements had different evaluators
          and source selection officials.

          2. Protest challenging the evaluation of the agency's technical and past
          performance evaluations is denied where the record shows that the evaluations
          were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation.
          DECISION

          National Government Services, Inc. (NGS), of Indianapolis, Indiana, protests the
          award of a contract to Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corp. (WPS), of
          Madison, Wisconsin, under request for proposals (RFP) No. RFP-CMS-2007-0018,
          issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and
          Medicaid Services (CMS), for Medicare administrative contractor (MAC) services.
          The protester argues that the agency's evaluation of its technical, cost, and past
          performance proposals was flawed.
