         DIGEST

         1. Protest that the agency unreasonably assigned a deficiency and unacceptable
         rating to the protester's proposal is denied where the record shows the evaluation
         was reasonable and in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria.

         solicitation is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably evaluated
         the awardee's proposal.
