          DIGEST

          1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of past performance is denied where
          record shows that agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
          terms of the solicitation and applicable statutes and regulations.

          2. Protest that agency failed to perform price realism evaluation is denied where
          solicitation neither expressly required the conduct of a price realism evaluation nor
          included language that contemplated the conduct of a price realism evaluation.

          3. Protest that agency engaged in misleading discussions with protester that led it
          to propose excessive staffing is denied where record does not show that agency
          downgraded or criticized protester's proposal for offering excessive staffing.
          DECISION

          DynCorp International LLC, of Fort Worth, Texas, protests the award of a contract to
          L-3 Communications Vertex Aerospace LLC, of Madison, Mississippi, under request
          for proposals (RFP) No. FA3002-1 1 -R-0007, issued by the Department of the Air
          Force to acquire aircraft maintenance services at Columbus Air Force Base (AFB),
          Mississippi. DynCorp primarily argues that the agency misevaluated proposals and
          engaged in misleading discussions.
