DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency engaged in unequal discussions and unfairly limited offerors'
proposal revisions in a procurement using the procedures at Federal Acquisition
Regulation part 16 is denied where the record shows that the exchanges were equal
and tailored to the evaluation of each offeror's proposal, and the submission of written
proposal revisions was not required by the terms of the solicitation or the underlying
multiple award contract.

2. Protest challenging the evaluation of proposals and source selection decision is
denied where the agency reasonably evaluated proposals in accordance with the
solicitation.
DECISION

Skyline Ultd, Inc. (Skyline), of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order
to Management Support Technology, Inc. (MSTI), of Fairfax, Virginia, under request for
task order proposals (RTOP) No. W1 5QKN-1 7-R-01 90 issued by the Department of the
Army, U.S. Army National Guard, for military funeral honors and survivor outreach
services. The protester contends that the agency engaged in discussions that were
unequal and not meaningful, and challenges the evaluation of proposals and the
selection decision.


We deny the protest.
