          DIGEST

          Protest that agency improperly rejected protester's proposal as unreasonably low
          priced is sustained where the agency based its conclusion on a comparison of the
          protester's price to the median price proposed by other offerors--including offerors
          whose proposals were determined to be unacceptable, ineligible for award, or priced
          unreasonably high.
          DECISION

          general construction and design/build construction in the Corps's South Atlantic
          Division, primarily in North Carolina. Lifecycle argues that the Corps unreasonably
          rejected Lifecycle's proposal on the basis that its proposed price for a portion of the


          1 The Corps awarded contracts to Billy W. Jarrett Construction Company, Inc., of
          Montgomery, Alabama; Chavis, Inc., of Maxton, North Carolina; Rand Enterprises,
