1. Protest that the agency engaged in misleading discussions with the protester is
dismissed as untimely where the agency had informed offerors that its earlier corrective
action would not involve engaging in further discussions, or permitting the submission of
revised proposals, and the protester failed to timely challenge the grounds rules of the
procurement.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the awardee's past performance is
denied where the protester fails to demonstrate that it suffered any competitive
prejudice from the alleged error.

3. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of awardee's compensation plan is
denied where it was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria.

4. Protest challenging the agency's best-value tradeoff determination is denied where
the decision was reasonable, consistent with the stated evaluation criteria, and
adequately documented as to why the awardee's proposal represented the overall best
value to the government.

award of a contract to ARES Technical Services Corporation, of Columbia, Maryland,
