          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's rejection of offeror's proposal is denied where
          rejection was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation and applicable statutes
          and regulations.

          protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposal (RFP) No.

          (NPS), for the design and construction of an accessible parking area and accessible
