          DIGEST

          Alleged misevaluation of two proposed personnel under relevant past
          experience/proposed personnel factor as lacking relevant experience did not
          competitively prejudice protester, and thus does not provide basis for sustaining
          protest, where contemporaneous evaluation record shows that protester's proposal

          its proposed key personnel.

          We deny the protest.

          On July 18, 2005 the Coast Guard issued a combined synopsis/solicitation for tactical
          operations education and training services to respond to terrorist threats in the
          maritime domain. The RFP contemplated the award of an indefinite-delivery/
