1. Protest of a weakness assessed under the most important aspect of the most
important factor is denied where the agency's rationale for the weakness is reasonable
and consistent with the terms of the solicitation and the contents of the proposal.

2. Allegation of disparate treatment is denied where the protester fails to demonstrate
that different evaluation results were based on substantively indistinguishable
approaches.

3. Challenge of the best-value tradeoff as failing to support award to the higher-rated,
higher-priced offeror is denied where the tradeoff decision is sufficiently documented
and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
