Allegation that agency improperly evaluated proposals is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated the proposals in accordance with the evaluation factors announced in the solicitation and, except for disagreeing with the evaluators' individual ratings, protester does not challenge or otherwise provide any evidence showing that the evaluation team's consensus ratings were not reasonable. 2. Protester's contention that agency improperly evaluated its past performance because it excluded two references the firm submitted with its proposal is denied, where the agency reasonably excluded the references for contracts that were not directly relevant to the procurement; the record shows that the agency evaluated proposals in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation; and the record reasonably supports the overall rating assigned the protester's proposal in this area. 3. Allegation that contracting agency should have rejected awardee's proposal as unacceptable because it shows that the firm does not intend to comply with the solicitation's limitation on subcontracting clause is denied where the awardee did not take exception in its offer to the subcontracting limitation provision, and the agency reasonably determined that the awardee will spend at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance for personnel for its own employees.
