         DIGEST

         Protest is denied where the agency's evaluation of proposals was reasonable and
         consistent with the terms of the solicitation, and where the solicitation provided that
         the mission capability, proposal risk, and past performance evaluation factors, when
         combined, were significantly more important than the cost evaluation factor, the
         agency reasonably selected for award the firm submitting a higher technically rated,
         higher cost proposal.
