          DIGEST

          Protester's contention that the agency's evaluation of its and the awardee's proposals
          was unreasonable, and that the agency failed to consider the protester's extensive
          general experience, is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation of
          both proposals was consistent with the solicitation's stated scheme.
          DECISION

          Hera Constructive S.A./Synthesis S.A., Joint Venture protests the award of a contract
