Dowd, Esq., Michael J. Farley, Esq., and William L. Olsen, Esq., Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw, for the protester. John S. Pachter, Esq., Jonathan D. Shaffer, Esq., Sophia R. Zetterlund, Esq., and Erin R.

Wolcott, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions where it did not advise protester that contractor-specific cost savings included in protester's initial proposal would not be considered in the agency's evaluation. 2. Where agency provided protester with information during discussions that the agency knew to be erroneous, and protester relied on that information to its detriment, the agency's discussions were misleading and call into question the reasonableness of the source selection decision. 3. Agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal was not reasonable where, notwithstanding the proposal's failure to address the minimally required description of features necessary to meet the performance requirements, agency credited awardee's proposal with meeting those requirements based on an agency advisor's perceptions regarding the capabilities of awardee's proposed subcontractor. DECISION Lockheed Martin Corporation protests the Department of the Army's award of a contract to Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAE30-03-R-0312 to perform system development and demonstration (SDD)
