Protest alleging that the agency unreasonably declined to accept the protester's proposed pricing discount is denied because the agency's decision was consistent with the terms of the solicitation and within its discretion; alternatively, the protester's contrary interpretation of the solicitation is based on a patent ambiguity, and the protester's post-award challenge constitutes an untimely challenge to the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest alleging that the agency's evaluation of proposals was unreasonable and unequal is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation.
