DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's assessment of various strengths and weaknesses in protester's technical proposal is denied where protest fails to establish that the agency's evaluation was unreasonable. 2. Protester's assertion that its prior ratings as the incumbent contractor entitled it to a substantial confidence past performance rating, rather than a satisfactory confidence rating, is denied. 3. Cost realism evaluation was reasonable where the agency upwardly adjusted protester's labor rates for failing to adequately substantiate rates that were based on decreasing current employees' salaries.
