          DIGEST

          1. Protest that agency misevaluated proposals is denied where record shows that
          agency's evaluation was consistent with terms of solicitation and applicable
          procurement statutes and regulations.

          2. Protest that agency failed to engage in adequate discussions is denied; agency was
          not legally obligated to conduct discussions in areas in question.
          DECISION

          DB Consulting Group, Inc., of Silver Spring, Maryland, protests the award of a
          contract to ASRC Primus, of Greenbelt, Maryland, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. NNG08230770R,  issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
          (NASA)  for integrated information technology services at the Goddard Flight Center.
          DB maintains that the agency misevaluated proposals, failed to provide it with
          adequate discussions, and made an unreasonable source selection decision.


We  deny the protest.
