             File:       B-280283.3

             Date:       December 22, 1998

             Lucie Du for the protester.
             Bruce M. Kasson, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the
             agency.
             Robert C. Arsenoff, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Protest of technical evaluation is denied where it is merely based on protester's
             disagreement with the evaluators' conclusions.

             2. Protest that discussions were not meaningful is denied where record establishes
             that protester was led into the areas in which the agency was concerned that the
             pro po sal needed amplification and improvement.
             DECISION

             Du & Associates, Inc. (D&A) protests the elimination of its proposal from the
             competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. R-OPC-21184, issued by
             the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for multifamily real
             estate assessment and analysis services. D&A principally alleges that its proposal
             was misevaluated and that HUD failed to conduct meaningful discussions.

             We deny the protest.

             BACKGROUND

             requirements were set forth in a detailed statement of work (SOW). RFP,
             Section C. Award was to be made on a best value basis considering technical merit
             and, secondarily, price. RFP amendment 1, Section M.IV.
