where the record shows the agency reasonably determined that awardee's professional
compensation plan was sufficient to recruit and retain personnel.

2. Protest that the awardee's proposal did not conform to a material solicitation
requirement is denied where the record shows the agency reasonably evaluated the
awardee's technical proposal in accordance with the terms of the solicitation.

3. Protest that the agency unreasonably made its source selection decision is denied
where the agency compared the proposals, determined that they were technically equal,
and selected the lower-priced proposal in accordance with the terms of the solicitation.
