          DIGEST

          Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated experience and past performance of
          the same subcontractor proposed by both the protester and awardee in an unequal
          manner is denied where protester was not prejudiced by the agency's error.
          DECISION

          BCPeabody Construction Services, Inc., of Tampa, Florida, protests the award
          of a contract to Edens Construction Company, of South Bay, Florida, by the
          Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. W912EP-13-R-0001 for dike rehabilitation construction services. BCPeabody
          primarily argues that the Corps improperly rejected its proposal as technically
          unacceptable.

          We deny the protest.
