DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency violated regulation by declining to open discussions after
corrective action is dismissed as untimely when the same alleged legal error existed
prior to the corrective action, and the protester failed to raise the issue at that time.

2. Protest alleging that the agency misevaluated proposals and made an unreasonable
source selection decision is denied where the record shows that the agency's
evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
DECISION

Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH), Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to
CACI, Inc.-Federal, of Chantilly, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) H98230-22-
R-0002, which was  issued by the National Security Agency for network and exploitation
analyst services. The protester alleges that the agency erred by failing to conduct
discussions, and unreasonably evaluated proposals in numerous respects.


We  deny the protest.
