DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency did not provide meaningful discussions is denied where the
agency reasonably communicated its concerns about the protester's initial proposal.

2. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated proposals is denied where the
evaluations were consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria.

3. Protest that the agency made an unreasonable source selection decision is denied
where the record shows that the agency considered the technical merit of the proposals
and reasonably determined that protester's proposal was not worth a price premium.
DECISION

Altavian, Inc., of Gainesville, Florida, protests the award of a delivery order to
AeroVironment, Inc., of Simi Valley, California, under Delivery Order Request (DOR)
No. W91 1 QY-1 8-R-PROD-FCS-01, issued by the Department of the Army, Army
Contracting Command, for flight control system kits and ground radio kits. The
protester argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated proposals and improperly
made its source selection decision.


We deny the protest.
