DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably assigned a favorable past performance rating to awardee's proposal based primarily on the experience of one key individual where solicitation specifically stated that in assessing past performance, the agency would consider the experience of key personnel; that individual has extensive, relevant experience; and, as corporate vice president and project manager, that individual will have substantial involvement in managing and overseeing performance of the contract. 2. Protester's contention that the evaluation of proposals was unreasonable is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation and reasonably supports the ratings assigned the protester's and awardee's proposals. 3. Contention that agency improperly evaluated proposed staffing levels against undisclosed staffing levels is denied. Agencies may properly evaluate proposals against an undisclosed reasonable estimate of appropriate staffing, where the solicitation notifies offerors that staffing is an evaluation area and evaluation takes into account the offeror's approach and unique features of the proposal.
