           Date:        November 20, 2014

           John C. Dulske, Esq., Joan Kelley Fowler Gluys, Esq., and Bryan L. Kost, Esq.,
           Dulske & Gluys, PC, for the protester.

           Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging evaluation of protester's price proposal is denied where the
           record establishes that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with
           the stated evaluation criteria.

           2. Protest that agency failed to hold meaningful discussions with the protester
           regarding specific deficiencies in its price proposal is denied where, contrary to the
           protester's argument, the agency had not opened discussions when it issued an
           amendment inviting offerors to submit updated resumes for key personnel, and to
           verify that unit prices were still valid, or, alternatively, to submit new unit prices with
           accompanying explanation.
