         The protester alleged that the successful offeror
misrepresented in its best and final otfer the facts concerning
its proposed staff and that the award was eventually made on the
basis of price. The evaluation of tfr- successful offeror's
proposed key personnel, even though changed after the award, was
not objectionable since the names were subnitted in good faith
by the contractor and with the consent of the respe..tive
individuals. The avard selection, among proposals essentially
equal technically, based on price or cost cannot be regarded as
prejudicial to the protester where the successful offeror was
higher technically and lower in cost. The protest was denie6.
