Protest challenging the contracting officer's affirmative determination of the awardee's responsibility is sustained where the record shows that the awardee's statements offered in the course of a second responsibility determination--that two affiliates implicated in criminal wrongdoing would not contribute to contract performance--contradicted the awardee's technical capability proposal. 2. Protest that the agency conducted unequal discussions regarding technical capability proposals is denied where the record does not support the protester's contention that discussions with the awardee unfairly focused on the technical proposal while discussions with the protester focused on price. 3. Protest that agency failed to adequately document oral presentations and the related discussions is sustained where the record demonstrates that the agency did not maintain a record of the oral presentations adequate to permit meaningful review. 4. Protest challenging the agency's conduct of discussions regarding oral presentations is sustained when the record does not provide a basis for finding that the discussions were fair.
