Protest challenging agency's evaluation of proposals is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest alleging that agency engaged in inadequate and misleading discussions is denied where agency advised protester of inadequacies regarding its proposed solution and agency was not required to afford the protester an opportunity to cure proposal defects first introduced in response to a post-discussion proposal revision. DECISION SMS Data Products Group, Inc., a small business concern of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a delivery order to Telos Corporation, a small business concern of Ashburn, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8726-17-F-0005, issued by the Department of the Air Force, for its base information transport infrastructure (BITI) base area network enterprise wireless recapitalization project.

We deny the protest.
