         DIGEST

         1. Protests challenging various aspects of the evaluation of protesters' and
         awardee's technical and past performance proposals are denied where the record
         shows that the evaluations were reasonable and in accordance with the stated
         evaluation criteria, and despite an error in the past performance evaluation, the
         protester cannot show a reasonable possibility of prejudice.

         2. Protests that the agency engaged in misleading and unequal discussions are
         denied where the record shows that discussions were equal, and while the record
         shows that discussions were misleading with respect to one protester, the record
         does not support the conclusion that there was a reasonable possibility of prejudice
         to the protester.

         3. Protests that the agency's price reasonableness evaluation was unreasonable
         are denied where the record shows that the evaluation was credible, adequately
         documented and reasonable.
