          DIGEST

          Protest that the agency conducted misleading and unequal discussions is denied
          where the record reflects that the protester was not misled during discussions, but
          chose to increase its proposed costs based on its own business judgement.
          DECISION

          CSC Government Solutions LLC, of Falls Church, Virginia, protests the award of a
          contract to HP Enterprise Services, LLP (HPES), of Herndon, Virginia, under
          request for proposals (RFP) No. FA4600-14-R-001 7, issued by the Department of
          the Air Force for information technology (IT) support services for the U.S. Strategic
          Command. CSC challenges the Air Force's evaluation of its and HPES' proposals
          and past performance, and argues that the agency failed to conduct meaningful
          discussions.


We deny the protest.
