           Matter of. Unisys Corporation

           File:        B-406326, B-406326.2, B-406326.3

           Date:        April 18, 2012

           Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Patrick R. Quigley, Esq., Arent Fox LLP, for the
           protester.
           Richard J. Conway, Esq., and Michael J. Slattery, Esq., Dickstein Shapiro LLP, for HP
           Enterprise Services, LLC, the intervenor.
           Scott C. Briles, Esq., and Robert L. Thomas, Esq., Department of Health and Human
           Services, for the agency.
           Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of
           the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Agency's discussions were not misleading where the agency advised the protester
           that it believed the protester's proposed staffing was insufficient, further advised the
           protester that it had provided no justification for the staffing level it proposed, and
           finally noted that protester had not proposed any automation tools that might lead to
           staffing efficiencies.

           2. Agency's discussions were not unequal where the agency tailored the discussions
           to each offeror's proposal and, similar to the questions presented to the protester,
           the agency identified various aspects of the awardee's proposal that appeared to be
           inadequately staffed.

           3. Protester's complaints regarding the agency's evaluation of both protester's and
           awardee's technical proposals reflect mere disagreement with the agency's various
           judgments and provide no basis for sustaining the protest.
           DECISION

           Unisys Corporation (UC), of Reston, Virginia, protests the award of a task order by
           the Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control (CDC) to
           HP Enterprise Services, LLC (HP) pursuant to request for task order proposals
