         DIGEST

         1. Protests challenging the agency's evaluation of the protesters' proposals as
         technically unacceptable are denied where the agency reasonably concluded that
         the protesters' proposals failed to adequately respond to the solicitation's
         requirements.

         2. Protest alleging that the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as
         technically unacceptable was tantamount to a finding of nonresponsibility is denied
         where the agency reasonably found the protester's proposal technically
         unacceptable on the basis of a factor not related to responsibility.

         3. Protest that agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions is denied where the
         agency's exchanges with offerors were communications that did not permit the
         offerors to materially revise their proposals.
