          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging awardee's use of leased government facilities is denied, where
          solicitation did not preclude the use of leased government facilities but stated only
          that agency would not be providing facilities as government furnished property
          under this contract.

          2. Protest contending that agency failed to eliminate the awardee's competitive
          advantage from using leased government facilities as assertedly required by Federal
          Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 45 is denied because FAR Part 45 does not apply
          to leases that are executed pursuant to statutory leasing authority, and unfair
          advantage does not otherwise exist because leases were executed at fair market
          value.

          3. Protest challenging source selection decision and evaluation ratings under each
          evaluation factor is denied, where the record demonstrates a reasoned and rational
          evaluation, and protesters' arguments amount to mere disagreement with the
          agency's conclusions.
