         DIGEST

         1. Protest that agency unequally evaluated protester's and awardee's proposals is
         denied where record shows that agency evaluated proposals in equal manner and
         consistent with solicitation evaluation criteria and that agency actions did not
         competitively prejudice protester.

         2. Protest regarding lack of documentation of agency's basis for eliminating
         technical strengths initially assigned to protester's proposal is denied where nothing
         in record demonstrates that agency's decision to eliminate strengths was
         unreasonable or contrary to solicitation's evaluation criteria.

         3. Protest that source selection decision was flawed because source selection
         official did not qualitatively analyze evaluation findings is denied where source
         selection official reasonably relied on technical evaluation team findings and made
         award based on highest-technically-rated, lowest-priced proposal.
