         DIGEST

         Where record establishes that protester's proposal was reasonably evaluated as
         containing deficiencies that indicated protester's inability to satisfy specified
         material solicitation requirements, agency reasonably found pro po sal technic ally
         unacceptable.

         Techniques, Ltd. (ACT) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACW27-00-R-0006,
         issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers for seepage remediation
         at Patoka Lake, Indiana. Coastal primarily argues that the agency's evaluation of
         Coastal's proposal was unreasonable because the agency improperly concluded that
         Coastal's proposed use of its Geomation 2380 Telemetry Unit did not meet the RFP
         requirement for real-time computer monitoring.

         We deny the protest.

         The RFP, issued on January 20, 2000, sought proposals for the construction of a
         specified balanced stabilized grouting based seepage cutoff for Patoka Lake.
         RFP § 00130, T 1. Balanced stabilized grouts were to be designed and tested to
         reduce grouting processes and procedures to be refined as work progressed to
