         DIGEST

         1. Protest against solicitation's price evaluation methodology is sustained where
         agency failed to amend price evaluation scheme notwithstanding the fact that it
         knew, prior to award, that the scheme did not reasonably reflect the agency's
         changed ordering strategy.

         2. Protest arguing that agency failed to perform required price realism analysis is
         denied where agency compared offerors' pricing to historical pricing for purposes of
         determining whether offerors' prices were too low.

         3. Protest that awardee's prices are unbalanced is denied where record fails to
         show that any of awardee's line item prices are overstated.
