DIGEST
1. Protest that the agency applied an undisclosed preference that the award of task
orders under three separate solicitations be made to a single offeror is denied where the
record does not support the protester's allegation.
2. Protest that the agency's award of multiple task orders to a single offeror constituted
improper bundling of small business requirements is dismissed as untimely where the
solicitations did not prohibit award of all orders to the same offeror.
3. Protest that the agency improperly failed to consider the effect of the award of
multiple task orders on the awardee's technical approach is denied where the
solicitations did not require the agency to consider this matter and the protester does
not show that resources in the awardee's proposal were unavailable as a result of the
multiple awards.
4. Protest of the evaluation of technical proposals is denied where the evaluations were
reasonable, equal, and consistent with the terms of the solicitations.
5. Protest of the agency's decision to conduct discussions with the awardee after
eliminating protester's proposal from the competitive range, thereby establishing a
competitive range of one, is denied where the agency's decision to limit the competitive
range was reasonable and where the agency did not treat the offerors unequally.
