Protest that agency's discussions with the protester were not meaningful is sustained where the agency did not convey its concern regarding what was evaluated as a significant performance risk, thus denying the protester an opportunity to meaningfully respond to the issue. 2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the awardee's technical proposal is denied where the record reflects the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.

Crowley alleges that the agency's discussions with the firm were not meaningful, its best-value tradeoff was flawed, and its evaluation of proposals was unreasonable. We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
