DIGEST
1. Protest that agency unreasonably identified a strength in awardee's quotation is
sustained where the agency's identified basis for the strength was not adequately
supported by the record.
2. Protest alleging that awardee's quotation was noncompliant with minimum
requirements is denied where protester's argument relies on an unreasonable
interpretation of the solicitation.
3. Protests challenging the evaluation of protester's technical/management quotation
are denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation.
