Protest that agency applied unstated environmental risk management plan factor in its evaluation of management proposals is denied where record shows that agency provided all offerors identical information during discussions that effectively amended the evaluation criteria of the solicitation. 2. Protest that agency failed to provide protester discussions relating to the adequacy of its environmental risk management plan is denied where record shows (1) agency only assigned protester's proposal a minor weakness in the area--and therefore was not required to discuss the matter--and (2) agency, in fact, afforded protester discussions relating to this aspect of its proposal. 3. Protest relating to reasonableness of the agency's evaluation of protester's and awardee's proposals in the area of environmental risk management plan is denied where record supports agency's conclusions that there were qualitative distinctions between the proposals in this area. 4. Protest relating to the agency's finding that awardee's proposal offered superior past performance is denied where record shows that agency had a reasonable basis for finding the awardee's past performance more relevant than that of other offerors', and the protester's assertions relating to awardee's past performance are based on factually incorrect assumptions.
