         DIGEST

         1. Protesters' contentions that agency improperly evaluated proposals are denied
         where the record shows that the agency evaluated in accordance with the criteria
         announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the evaluators'
         conclusions.

         2. Protester's argument that an upward adjustment made to its proposed costs to
         account for unacceptable reductions in staffing was improper is denied, where the
         record shows that the agency had a reasonable basis for the adjustment.
