DIGEST Protest of an agency's unacceptability determination in a negotiated procurement is denied where the agency also determined, prior to making its award decisions, on the basis of a cost/technical tradeoff that the protester would not be in line for award, even if its proposal was considered acceptable and where the protester does not demonstrate that the agency's judgment is unreasonable or not in accord with the solicitation requirements.
