         Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for the protester.
         Kevin P. Mullen, Esq., Charles L. Capito, Esq., and Rachael K. Plymale, Esq.

         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the evaluation of the offerors' technical proposals is denied
         where the evaluations were reasonable and did not reflect unequal treatment.

         2. Protest challenging the evaluation of the realism of the offerors' proposed costs
         is denied where the agency reasonably evaluated the awardee's proposed indirect
         rates, and where the balance of the allegations, if meritorious, would not make the
         protester's evaluated cost lower than the awardee's.

         3. Protest that the awardee received an advantage arising from the improper
         disclosure of information by its outside counsel, in violation of the protective order
         issued by our Office, is denied where, despite the improper disclosure, there is not a
         prejudicial violation of any procurement law or regulation.

         4. Protest that the agency improperly allowed the awardee to revise its proposal
         beyond the scope of instructions during discussions is denied where offerors were
         not restricted in making revisions in the manner argued by the protester.
         DECISION
