         DIGEST

         1. Agency's discussions with the protester were meaningful where they led the
         protester into the areas of its proposal that required revision.

         2. Protest that agency's technical evaluation was unequal and unreasonable is
         denied where the record demonstrates that differences in the proposals supported
         differing evaluation results.
         DECISION

         Raytheon Company, Space and Airborne Systems, of El Segundo, California,
         protests the issuance of a task order to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, of
         Linthicum, Maryland, by the Department of the Army, under request for task order
         execution plan (RTEP) No. R2-3G-0823, issued to holders of the Army's Rapid
         Response-Third Generation multiple-award contract, for the purpose of prototyping,
         designing, integrating and testing a Synthetic Aperture Radar/Ground Moving
         Target Indicator (SAR/GMTI) long range radar. Raytheon alleges that the Army's
         technical evaluation was unreasonable, principally because the Army conducted
         inadequate and misleading discussions.


We deny the protest.
