         DIGEST

         1. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposed management approach as
         reflecting a weakness based on the lack of detail regarding how and when cost
         reductions would occur.

         2. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposed management approach as
         reflecting a weakness with regard to long-term advantages where the proposal did
         not clearly explain what the protester was offering to do.

         3. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposed management approach as
         reflecting a weakness based on misstatements in the proposal regarding the
         respective responsibilities of the contractor and the agency.

         4. Agency reasonably evaluated both protester's and awardee's proposals as good
         with regard to past performance.
