DIGEST
Agency's discussions with protester were meaningful and not misleading where,
during discussions, the agency directed protester's attention to specific aspects of
its proposal that needed to be addressed.

of Raytheon's proposal, submitted in response to request for proposals (RFP)

vehicles. Raytheon asserts that the agency failed to conduct meaningful
discussions with Raytheon.
