DIGEST

1. Agency  reasonably assessed a rating of low confidence to protester's proposal

2. Agency's methodology  in evaluating proposals and identifying the most highly rated
offerors was reasonable and consistent with the provisions of the solicitation.

the Department of Commerce,  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA),  pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 1305M4-22-RNEEA-0001, to
provide a wide assortment of professional, technical and scientific services. See

the most important evaluation factor, relevant technical experience.

We  deny the protest.
