DIGEST A proposal submitted in response to a solicitation for the fabrication and installation of exhibits was reasonably downgraded by the agency where the proposal did not demonstrate that certain proposed equipment met the specification requirements and where certain proposed personnel lacked sufficient relevant experience.
