         DIGEST

         1. Protest that awardee has biased ground rules type organizational conflict of
         interest (OCI) is denied where record does not establish that awardee's prior
         contract performance put awardee in position to materially affect competition.

         2. Protest that awardee has unequal access to information type OCI is denied
         where record reflects that any advantage arising from awardee's prior contract
         performance was normally occurring incumbent advantage.

         3. Protest that agency improperly evaluated protester's technical proposal is denied
         where proposal ratings are supported by record and consistent with solicitation;
         protester's arguments reflect mere disagreement with agency's technical judgments.

         4. Protest that agency improperly evaluated protester's cost proposal is denied
         where record supports agency's determination that proposed reduction to
         indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract labor rates lacked sufficient detail to
         warrant cost proposal risk level rating of low.
