           DIGEST

           Protest challenging an agency's selection decision is denied where the record

           accordance with the evaluation criteria.
           DECISION

           Omega Apparel, Inc., of Smithville, Tennessee, protests the award of a contract to
           Califashions, of San Francisco, California, under request for proposals (RFP) No.
           SPM1 C1-13-R-0091 issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to manufacture
           Navy women's slacks. The protester challenges the agency's evaluation of
