Deitz for the protester. David R. Johnson, Esq., Kathleen C. Little, Esq., and Robert J. Rothwell, Esq., McDermott, Will & Emery, for Johnson Controls World Services, Inc., an intervenor. John E. Lariccia, Esq., Martin F. McAlwee, Esq., and Marian E. Sullivan, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., Glenn Wolcott, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's discussions with protester were meaningful and not misleading where agency advised firm of areas where proposal needed clarifications or revisions and in response to agency's concerns, protester elected to propose the more costly technical solution. DECISION Techniarts Science & Technology Corporation (TSTC) protests the award of a contract to Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. (JCWS) under request for proposals (RFP) No. F08650-98-R-0013, issued by the Department of the Air Force for visual information end products and technical services in support of pre-launch, launch, post-launch, and non-launch operations, also called the Visual Information Technical Contract (VITC). TSTC asserts that JCWS's proposal was unbalanced, and that the Air Force improperly evaluated JCWS's technical proposal and conducted misleading discussions with TSTC. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on May 20, 1997, contemplated the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, labor-hour contract for a base period with four 1-year options. The contract is to obtain visual imaging end products for launch and non-launch events for the 45th Space Wing and NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Offerors were to propose a fixed price per event for Basic Launch Image Acquisition Packages (camera/equipment setups and operations for missile launches and shuttle launches and landings), and Launch Image Acquisition Services (covering launches, landings, slips and scrubs). Additionally, offerors were to propose a price per hour for over and above image acquisition requirements
