         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's teaming agreement with its
         proposed subcontractor is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that the
         agreement met the requirements of the solicitation to show a binding commitment
         between the parties to perform the task order.

         2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's technical and price
         quotations is denied where the agency reasonably evaluated the experience and
         capabilities of both the awardee and its proposed subcontractor, and the
         evaluations were otherwise reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
         solicitation.

         3. Protest challenging the agency's request for additional price reductions from only
         the vendor whose quotation had been selected for award is denied because the
         request did not prejudice the protester.
