Matter of: Unispec Enterprises, Inc. File: B-407937; B-407937.2 Date: April 16, 2013 Joseph J. Petrillo, Esq., and Sophia Z. Watson, Esq., Petrillo & Powell, PLLC, for the protester. Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Peter B. Ford, Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, and Mark R. Zeidman, Esq., Dow Golub Remels & Beverly, LLP, for Wichita Tribal Enterprises, LLC, an intervenor. Richard J. McCarthy, Esq., Bradley W. Smith, Esq., and Geoffrey S. Swanson, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Noah B. Bleicher, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's complaints regarding the agency's evaluation of both protester's and awardee's technical and past performance proposals reflect mere disagreement with the agency's various judgments and provide no basis for sustaining the protest. 2. Agency's discussions were not unequal where the agency tailored the discussions to each offeror's proposal and, similar to the questions presented to the awardee, the agency identified various aspects of the protester's proposal that required additional rationale. DECISION Unispec Enterprises, Inc., of Largo, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Wichita Tribal Enterprises, LLC, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, under request for proposals (RFP) No. NNK12423244R, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), for institutional support services for NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center. Unispec challenges the agency's technical evaluation, past performance evaluation, and the conduct of discussions. We deny the protest.
