          DIGEST

          1. Protest that awardee's proposal failed to meet solicitation requirement for a
          private cloud environment is denied where agency reasonably concluded that
          awardee's private cloud met the private cloud definition established by the
          solicitation.

          2. Protest that awardee's proposal should have been downgraded based on
          inherent risks associated with awardee's plan to staff key personnel positions using
          subcontractor personnel as opposed to the awardee's own personnel is denied
          where the record reflects that the agency's evaluation of the awardee's proposal was
          not inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation or otherwise unreasonable.
