Protest that the awardee's staffing plan provides for fewer personnel than will be required to perform the contract is denied where the agency reasonably considered the offerors' differing technical approaches while evaluating the proposed staffing plans and the protester's assertion is based solely on a comparison of the total number of personnel it proposed to perform the contract to the total number of personnel proposed by the awardee. 2. In cost reimbursement contract, protest that agency should have upwardly adjusted the awardee's proposed costs to account for the awardee's proposal of a lower fringe benefit rate than the rate previously paid by the incumbent contractor is denied where the agency reasonably determined, among other things, that the awardee's proposed fringe benefit rate was comparable to commercial rates in the region where the contract will be performed.
