Olds, Esq., for Mercom Corporation; Aaron Drabkin, Esq., and Lewis P. Rhodes, Esq., for MicroTechnologies, LLC, the protesters. Wade L. Brown, Esq., and Brian Tuftee, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency did not conduct discussions when it had limited communications with offerors regarding adverse past performance and proposal ambiguities; accordingly, the agency was not required to conduct discussions with protesters prior to eliminating their proposals from the competitive range. 2. Protests of elimination of protesters' proposals from the competitive range are denied where the record shows that agency's evaluations were reasonable and supported by record, or that protesters suffered no prejudice. DECISION Presidio Networked Solutions, Inc., of Greenbelt, Maryland; Mercom Corporation, of Pawleys Island, South Carolina; and MicroTechnologies, LLC, of Vienna, Virginia protest the exclusion of their proposals from the competitive range by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W52P1J-1 1-R-0171 issued to procure what the Army terms as Information Technology Enterprise Solutions 3 Hardware (ITES-3H). The protesters raise various challenges to the evaluation of their own proposals, the conduct of discussions, and the competitive range determination.
