          DIGEST

          Protester is not an interested party to challenge agency's evaluation of awardee's
          proposal where protester is not in line for award if protest is sustained.
          DECISION

          Advanced Concept Enterprises, Inc. (ACE) of Shalimar, Florida, protests the
          Department of the Air Force's award of a contract to Sonoran Technology and
          Professional Services, LLC, of Goodyear, Arizona, under request for proposals
          (RFP) No. FA4890-13-R-01 22, for E-3 mission crew training. ACE asserts that the
          agency unreasonably evaluated Sonoran's proposal.

          We dismiss the protest on the basis that the protester is not an interested party
          under our Bid Protest Regulations because there was another offeror in line for
          award before ACE.

          The solicitation provided for award to the offeror that submitted the lowest-priced,
          technically acceptable offer, based on an evaluation of past performance, technical,
          and price factors. RFP at 188. Price was to be evaluated for realism and
          reasonableness. Id. at 194.1

          1 There is a dispute between the agency and the protester as to the nature of the
          price realism analysis that was required to be performed. The agency report reflects
          that the agency did perform a price realism analysis. Since we are dismissing the
                                                                           (continued...)
