This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: New Breed, Inc. File: B-400554; B-400554.2; B-400554.3 Date: December 5, 2008 Ronald A. Schechter, Esq., Jeffrey L.

Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's and awardee's proposals is denied where record demonstrates that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with stated evaluation criteria. 2. Protest that agency failed to hold meaningful discussions with protester is denied where record shows that discussions either were adequate to lead protester into areas of its proposal with which agency was concerned, or allegations concern minor weaknesses that agency was not required to discuss.
