DIGEST

1. Protest alleging inadequate and misleading discussions is dismissed as an untimely
challenge to the scope of discussions where the amended solicitation stated that the
agency's discussions would not include vendors' oral presentations, and the protester
failed to challenge the grounds rules for the competition by the next closing date.

2. Protest alleging the agency's evaluation of vendors' technical and management
quotations was unequal and disparate is denied where the protester's assertions are not
supported by the record.

3. Protest challenging the strengths assigned to awardee's quotation as improper
double-counting is denied where the advantages were properly counted under multiple
evaluation criteria and/or double-counted for all vendors.

4. Protest challenging the best-value tradeoff decision is denied where the decision
was reasonable, consistent with the stated evaluation criteria, and adequately
documented.
DECISION

CSRA LLC, of Falls Church, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to American
Technology Solutions International Corporation (ATSI), of Fredericksburg, Virginia,
