         DIGEST

         Protest is denied where agency's evaluation of proposals was consistent with

         compared to protester's lower technically rated proposal.

         Information Systems Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAB07-
         99-R-G752, issued by the U. S. Army Communications-Electronics Command
         (CECOM), for field support services. GRE challenges the agency's evaluation of
         proposals and the agency's selection decisions.

         We deny the protest.!
