DIGEST

1. Admission of counsel and consultant to a protective order was appropriate over
objections, where the record showed that the applicants did not participate in
competitive decisionmaking and that there was not otherwise an unacceptable risk of
inadvertent disclosure of protected information.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as technically
unacceptable for failing to provide the level of detail required by the solicitation is denied
where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
terms of the solicitation and applicable procurement law and regulation.

3. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation and the acceptability of the awardee's
proposal for allegedly departing from administrative requirements is denied where the
record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
solicitation and applicable procurement law and regulation.
