             record shows that the agency appropriately evaluated the proposal based on the
             merits of the proposal itself, and reasonably gave the highest possible past

             had strong past performance references, even though the other offerors had not
             served as the incumbent for these services.

             denied where the agency is awarding a time-and-materials contract and reasonably
