         DIGEST

         1. Protest that agency unreasonably and unequally evaluated proposals is denied
         where record reflects that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with
         solicitation's evaluation criteria and that differences in evaluation did not result from
         unequal treatment.

         2. Agency decision not to include protester's lower-priced, marginal-rated proposal
         in best value tradeoff is unobjectionable where solicitation adequately advised
         offerors that marginal rating may render proposal ineligible for award.
