1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals is denied where the record
shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the
solicitation.

2. Protest that discussions were inadequate and unequal is denied where the agency
did not identify any significant weaknesses or deficiencies in the areas of protester's
proposal that were not discussed, discussions were tailored to the offerors' proposals,
and the discussions did not prevent the protester from having a reasonable opportunity
for award.
