           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging agency's technical evaluation is denied where evaluation
           results were reasonably based on the technical evaluators' relevant expertise.

           2. Protest that agency's evaluation unreasonably ignored key elements of protester's
           proposal is denied where protester's proposal failed to adequately describe alleged
           approach.

           3. Protest that agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions is denied where
           agency specifically highlighted aspects of protester's proposal that agency found
           inadequate.
