MATTER OF:

90530 W DATE: January 1.1,

The Ohio State University
Research Foundation

DIGEST:

1. Allegation that agency failed- to follow
stated evaluation criteria is denied where
record shows that evaluation was consistent
with reasonable interpretation of criteria
and solicitation work statement and pro-
tester knew prior to submitting its best
and final offer of agency's interpretation
of the criteria.

2. Agency's consideration of in-place equip-
ment and B6f-vavilhility of one offef~r' s
existing coEi~tErired-rnform-at-n sys tem
in evaluating propos3als is not indonsistent
with evaluation criteria since there is
reasonable and logical relationship between
those matters and established evaluation
criteria dealing with availability of
equipment and resources.

3. Although protester disputes existence of
weaknesses in its proposal as found by
agency evaluators, record does not indicate
that evaluators' c
able.

4. High score received by one offeror as result
of initial evaluation by technical review
panel does not indicate that offeror was
winner of competition, but only that
offeror was to be included in competitive
range and evaluated further upon submission
of best and final offer.

5. In selecting offeror for award, selection
official is not bound by point scores,
findings and recommendations of lower level
evaluators.
