File: B-410199; B-410199.2 Date: November 13, 2014 Theodore P. Watson, Esq., Watson & Associates, LLC, for the protester. Jeanne P. Ockerman, Esq., and Catherine Rubino, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Pedro E. Briones, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that the agency improperly evaluated the protester's technical proposal is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. 2. Agency's discussions with the protester were meaningful and not misleading where the agency reasonably led the offeror into an area of its proposal that needed amplification or correction, and the identification of a new, significant weakness in the protester's final proposal revisions did not require the agency to reopen discussions with the protester.

MetalCraft challenges the agency's evaluation of its technical proposal, the Navy's conduct of discussions, and the agency's source selection decision. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, which was set aside for small businesses, provided for the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, for a base year
