DIGEST

Protester is not an interested party to challenge the agency's award decision, made on
a lowest-priced technically acceptable basis, where the protester fails to demonstrate it
would have a substantial chance at receiving award, even assuming it were to prevail
on its challenge to the awardee's quotation, given the existence of at least one
intervening technically acceptable, lower-priced quotation.

contract to Renos Company  (Renos), of Erbil, Iraq, pursuant to request for quotations
