         DIGEST

         Protests are denied where the agency's evaluations of proposals were reasonable
         and consistent with the solicitations' evaluation schemes, which provided that an
         offeror's capability was more important than price, and where the contracting officer
         reasonably selected for award higher priced proposals of incumbent contractors
         based on the higher capability ratings given to these contractors.

         (DMI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAG60-99-R-0042 (RFP-0042), issued
         by the United States Military Academy (USMA), West Point, New York, for the

         transportation, and disposal of solid waste at the former Stewart Army Subpost
