          DIGEST

          1. Agency reasonably evaluated price proposals and properly tailored discussions
          where it advised the protester of the agency's concerns about the use of an
          employment  tax credit on which the protester's proposal indicated its price was
          premised and did not similarly consider this matter in evaluating the awardee's price
          because there was no indication that the awardee's price was similarly premised.

          2. Agency reasonably assigned the protester's and awardee's past performance the
          same  rating of better where protester's performance on the most relevant contract
          was improving, but, considering the past 3 years was reasonably considered not
          outstanding, and the awardee's performance on less relevant contracts was highly
          rated.

          3. Protest that the contracting agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's and
          awardee's oral presentations is denied where the record shows that the evaluation
          was reasonable; the protester's mere disagreement with the evaluation does not
          render the agency's judgment unreasonable.
