Abshire, Esq., McGuireWoods LLP, for Logistic Services International, Inc., an intervenor. Tina Marie Pixler, Esq., and Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency held defective discussions is denied where agency did not hold discussions with either offeror, did not invite either offeror to revise its proposal, and limited the scope of its communications to clarifying and confirming what the offerors had already committed to do. 2. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's and awardee's proposals is denied where the contemporaneous record shows that agency's technical and past performance evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Pinnacle Solutions, Inc. (PSI), of Huntsville, Alabama, a small business, protests the Department of the Army's award of a contract to Logistic Services International, Inc. (LSI), of Jacksonville, Florida, pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. W5RGZ-1 2-R-01 5, for the production of Black Hawk Maintenance Trainers, UH-60M (BHMT-M) to be used by United States Army Aviation Logistics School (USAALS) at Fort Eustis, Virginia. PSI argues that the Army misevaluated both PSI's and LSI's proposals, failed to hold meaningful discussions, and made an unreasonable source selection decision. We deny the protest.
