This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: CDA Investment Technologies, hie. File: B-272093; B-272093.2 Date: September 12, 1996 Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., and Raymond Fioravanti, Esq., Epstein Becker & Green, P.C., for the protester. Kenneth S. Kramer, Esq., and Catherine E. Pollack, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for Disclosure, Inc., an intervenor. George Conril Brown, Esq., Valerie G. Preiss, Esq., and Angela E. Clark, Esq., Securities and Exchange Commission, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester was not prejudiced by any errors that may have occurred in the evaluation of awardee's proposed use of a subcontractor for manual data processing where the record shows that, given that the task at issue comprises a relatively minor portion (less than 2 percent) of the overall effort and will become obsolete early in the life of the contract, there is no reason to conclude that the proposal ratings would have materially changed. 2. Protester's contention that agency improperly evaluated its past performance is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated proposals in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the technical evaluation panel's decision to downgrade the protester's proposal in this area. 3. Contention that agency improperly conducted discussions only with awardee is denied where the record shows that, although at time of award agency sought to confirm that awardee intended to perform consistent with its proposal submitted approximately 1-1/2 years earlier, the agency reasonably concluded that the awardee did not make any material changes to its proposal. 411311
