Ramsey, Esq., Peace Corps, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency met its obligation to conduct meaningful discussions where record shows that it put protester on notice of its principal concern with the protester's proposal, namely, the fact that certain of the functionality required by the solicitation was not yet available, since the protester's offered software had not yet been released. DECISION PeopleSoft USA, Inc. protests the elimination of its proposal from the competitive range under letter of interest (LOI) No. PCORPS-99-R-1023, issued by the Peace Corps for financial management software. PeopleSoft asserts that the agency improperly failed to conduct meaningful discussions with it before eliminating its proposal from further consideration. 'PeopleSoft's initial protest also alleged that the agency had improperly evaluated proposals using an unstated evaluation criterion, and that one of the other competitors in the acquisition had an improper organizational conflict of interest; the protester expressly withdrew these bases for protest in its comments responding to the agency report.
