Protest challenging the evaluation of the protester's proposal as technically unacceptable for failing to adequately address material performance requirements is denied because the record reflects that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation. 2. In Department of Defense procurement valued in excess of $100 million, agency's decision not to conduct discussions was reasonable where the record supports the agency's determination that award on the basis of initial proposals was in the government's best interest.
