           DIGEST

           1. Protest alleging that the agency failed to conduct a required price realism
           analysis is dismissed as untimely, where any ambiguity as to scope of realism
           analysis contemplated was patent and was resolved prior to the initial deadline for
           submission of proposals.

           2. Protest alleging misleading discussions and a flawed evaluation is denied where
           the protester is unable to demonstrate that it was prejudiced by the agency's
           actions.
