          Reginald Evans for the protester.

          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protester is not an interested party for purposes of challenging the agency's
          ability to perform the requirements of the solicitation where the record shows that,
          even if the protest were sustained on this ground, an intervening offeror would be
          next in line for award.

          2. Protest that agency improperly failed to give priority to the protester as a small
          business, surplus labor area concern is denied where the agency regulations at issue
          contain no such requirement.

          3. Protest that the awardee's and the protester's proposals should have received
          comparable technical scores because they offered the same equipment is denied
          where the solicitation lists several factors to be considered in the technical
          evaluation, of which equipment offered is but one.

          4. Allegations that the agency failed to make the solicitation requirements
          sufficiently favorable to small businesses are untimely where made after the
          solicitation closing date.
          DECISION

          Evans Security Solutions, Inc. protests the award of a contract to General Dynamics
