           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation of proposals and source
           selection decision is dismissed where protester abandoned its substantive
           challenges to the agency's evaluation of technical proposals.

           2. Protest that an agency did not properly consider the protester's small business
           status when evaluating its proposal in a full and open competition is denied where
           the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
           solicitation and with applicable procurement statutes and regulations.
           DECISION

           Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Dismas
           Charities, Inc., of Louisville, Kentucky, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-
           1248-ES, issued by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, for residential re-
           entry center and home confinement services in Charleston, West Virginia. Bannum
           maintains that the agency misevaluated its proposal and made an unreasonable
           source selection decision.


We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
