DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals is denied where the record
shows the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation,
as well as applicable statutes and regulations.

2. Protest that the source selection decision was unreasonable is denied where the
record shows that the consensus evaluation was based on the actual merits of the
proposal, and where the record shows that the source selection official exercised
independent judgment and adequately documented his decision.
