          DIGEST

          1. Protest that awardee's quoted software does not satisfy a solicitation requirement
          is denied, where the parties disagree as to the interpreation of this requirement and,
          even accepting the protester's interpretation, the protester is not prejudiced by the
          agency's waiver of this requirement.

          2. Protest that awardee did not demonstrate that its offered software was part of a
          product line installed and operational in 100 court or hearing rooms, as required by
          the solicitation, is denied, where agency reasonably determined that offered
          software was an upgraded version of software within an existing product line that
          satisfied the solicitation requirement.

          3. Awardee's software was reasonably found to be more access compliant under
          Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794d (2000), where awardee's
          software received a higher compliance test score than the protester's software, and
          the solicitation stated that the overall test scores would establish the comparative
          degree of compliance with the standards.
