Protest that agency improperly conducted discussions with awardee is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency properly limited its exchanges with the awardee to permissible clarifications. 2. Protester's quotation submitted in response to a solicitation issued for a solution to automate the agency's personnel recruitment and hiring processes that took various exceptions to material terms and conditions of the solicitation was reasonably found unacceptable by the agency. 3. Protester is not an interested party to challenge the agency's price and technical evaluations and subsequent source selection determination where protester would be ineligible for selection even if protest of evaluation were sustained.
