DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency accepted a deficient key personnel statement of commitment
from the awardee is denied where the record demonstrates that the statement of
commitment  complied with solicitation criteria.

2. Protest challenging the availability of key personnel based solely on job postings by
the awardee is dismissed as failing to state a valid basis of protest. Protest that a key
person is unavailable based on a change in employment prior to award is denied where
the record shows that all proposed key personnel submitted statements of commitment,
none of these statements were revoked, and the awardee did not otherwise have actual
knowledge  that any of its proposed key personnel had become unavailable.

3. Protest that the awardee's proposal improperly took exception to the
solicitation requirements is denied where the agency reasonably determined that the
awardee's assumptions  were not exceptions to the requirements.

4. Protest challenging various aspects of the agency's evaluation of the protester's
proposal and best-value determination is denied where the agency's evaluation was
reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
