DIGEST

1. Protests challenging the evaluation of protesters' technical quotations are denied
where the evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. Where
protester's quotation was reasonably deemed technically unacceptable under one
evaluation factor, protester cannot establish prejudice with respect to alleged evaluation
errors under remaining factors.

2. Protest arguing that the agency failed to conduct equal and meaningful discussions
is denied where the record reflects that the agency did not enter into discussions with
any vendors; exchanges with the protester and an awardee were clarifications.

3. Protest challenging the agency's award decisions is denied where award to a vendor
that submitted less advantageous labor rates was not inconsistent with solicitation's
best-value award scheme under which technical superiority is more important than
price.
