MATTER  OF:


90530 W     DATE:  January 1.1,

The Ohio State University
Research Foundation


DIGEST:

1.   Allegation that agency failed- to follow
     stated evaluation criteria is denied where
     record shows that evaluation was consistent
     with reasonable interpretation of criteria
     and solicitation work statement and pro-
     tester knew prior to submitting its best
     and final offer of agency's interpretation
     of the criteria.

2.   Agency's consideration of in-place equip-
     ment and B6f-vavilhility of one offef~r' s
     existing coEi~tErired-rnform-at-n sys tem
     in evaluating propos3als is not indonsistent
     with evaluation criteria since there is
     reasonable and logical relationship between
     those matters and established evaluation
     criteria dealing with availability of
     equipment and resources.

3.   Although protester disputes existence of
     weaknesses in its proposal as found by
     agency evaluators, record does not indicate
     that evaluators' c
     able.

4.   High score received by one offeror as result
     of initial evaluation by technical review
     panel does not indicate that offeror was
     winner of competition, but only that
     offeror was to be included in competitive
     range and evaluated further upon submission
     of best and final offer.

5.   In selecting offeror for award, selection
     official is not bound by point scores,
     findings and recommendations of lower level
     evaluators.
