          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's price quotation is
          dismissed in part and denied in part where the protester did not timely challenge the
          terms of the solicitation prior to the time for receipt of quotations, and the evaluation
          was otherwise consistent with the solicitation's stated evaluation scheme.

          2. Protest arguing that the agency conducted unequal discussions is denied where
          the record reflects that the agency's communication with the awardee was a
          clarification.

          3. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is
          denied where the record shows that there was no prejudice to the protester as a
          result of the alleged error.
