record shows that the agency assessed strengths to the awardee and not to the
protester as a result of differences in the offerors' proposals.

2. Protest that agency applied an unstated evaluation criterion in assessing a strength
to the awardee's proposal is denied where the agency assessed the strength based on
an aspect of the awardee's proposal that was reasonably encompassed by the
solicitation's evaluation criteria.
