           DIGEST

           1. Protest that the agency failed to evaluate the realism of the awardee's pricing is
           sustained where the record does not show that the agency conducted a price
           realism analysis comparing the awardee's pricing with its proposed technical
           approach.

           2. Protest that the agency failed to evaluate the risk associated with the awardee's
           technical proposal is sustained where the record does not show that the agency
           considered the feasibility of the awardee's approach to recruit and retain staff at the
           required levels at its proposed burdened labor rates.

           3. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's past performance
           is sustained where the agency concedes that the evaluation contains errors in the
           assignment of adjectival ratings.
