Behn Miller, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions with protester is denied where discussion questions reasonably led protester into area of its technical proposal that was deficient. 2. Agency's determination that the protester's lower-priced proposal did not represent the best value to the government in a procurement for technical engineering and spacelift services is unobjectionable where the agency reasonably evaluated the protester's proposal as posing a moderate performance risk due to the protester's reliance on subcontractor personnel and corporate resources, and reasonably concluded that compared to the awardee's proposal, which was reasonably evaluated as posing a low performance risk due to the awardee's capability to rely on in-house personnel and internal corporate resources, was worth the price premium. 3. Protest that awardee gained an unfair competitive advantage because it proposed the services of government employee as a project leader is denied where: (1) government employee advised the agency of his employment discussions and subsequent offer from the awardee; (2) the government employee did not participate in the procurement; (3) there is no evidence that the government employee influenced the technical evaluators or that the employee had access to source selection information, or otherwise conferred an unfair competitive advantage on the awardee; and (4) there is no evidence that the government employee participated in the preparation of the awardee's proposal.

(CMT) protests the award of a contract to AJT and Associates under request for proposals (RFP) No. F08650-95-R-A078, issued by the Department of the Air Force for technical engineering and spacelift services
