           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging the agency's past performance evaluation is sustained
           where the record reflects that the agency engaged in disparate treatment of
           vendors' past performance.

           2. Protest challenging the agency's technical evaluation of the protester's quotation
           is denied where the agency's evaluation was reasonable, consistent with the
           solicitation, and adequately documented.

           3. Protest challenging the agency's best-value tradeoff decision is sustained where
           the agency failed to adequately document how it found the awardee's corporate
           experience to be superior to that of the protester, where the vendors were equally
           rated.
