DIGEST

1. Protest alleging that the agency failed to properly evaluate the awardee's cost
proposal is denied where the record shows that agency's cost realism assessment was
reasonable, and conducted in accordance with the solicitation.

2. Protest challenging evaluation of protester's technical proposal is denied where the
record shows that the agency's evaluation reasonably determined that the protester did
not explain how it would leverage its prior experience to successfully perform the
solicitation requirements.

contract to Advanced Decision Vectors, LLC (ADV), of Alexandria, Virginia, under
