This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: GOVCIO, LLC File: B-421290.6; B-421290.7; B-421290.8 Date: September 11, 2024 James Y. Boland, Esq., Kyle T.

Stevenson, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's assessment of a significant strength based on awardee's capability to exceed requirements is sustained where the record shows that the evaluation finding was based on an erroneously inflated understanding of the awardee's ability to exceed the government's requirements. 2. Protest challenging agency's evaluation of the protester's past performance is denied where the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 3. Protest that agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions and engaged in unequal discussions is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably tailored discussions to identify weaknesses in proposals and other areas where the proposals could be materially enhanced; an agency is not required to advise in discussions that an offeror's past performance received a rating of neutral. 4. Protest that agency should have found awardee nonresponsible is dismissed where the task order solicitation did not include a requirement that the agency determine responsibility and there is no other requirement that an agency determine responsibility
