Matter of: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company File: B-413444.4; B-413444.5 Date: January 18, 2017 J. Scott Hommer, III, Esq., William L. Walsh, Jr., Esq., Miranda S. Riemer, Esq., Keir X. Bancroft, Esq., and Michael T. Francel, Esq., Venable LLP, for the protester. Stacy G. Wilhite, Esq., and Marc J. Rosen, Esq, Department of the Army, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest arguing that the agency will not conduct a price realism analysis in a reasonable manner during corrective action is dismissed as premature. 2. Protest challenging the agency's decision to conduct discussions during corrective action, and the scope of those discussions, is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that limited discussions were needed to address the acceptability of the price proposals. DECISION Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPEC), of Herndon, Virginia, protests the corrective action undertaken by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command--Aberdeen Proving Ground Huachuca Division, in response to HPEC's protest of the award of a contract to IronBrick Associates, of Vienna, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91 RUS-1 6-R-0002 for information technology support services. HPEC argues that the Army's corrective action will likely result in an unreasonable price realism analysis, and that the agency conducted discussions in an unreasonable manner. We dismiss in part and deny in part the protest.
