         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging agency's cost realism evaluation of the awardee is denied
         where the protester does not dispute the evaluated cost and the agency properly
         treated the awardee's proposed indirect rate caps as a matter of responsibility.

         2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is
         denied where the agency reasonably determined that the two challenged aspects of
         the protester's proposal did not represent strengths and did not provide value to the
         government.

         3. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of offerors' past performance is denied
         where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
         stated evaluation criteria.
