DIGEST<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Protest challenging the agency\u2019s conduct of discussions is denied where the record provides no basis on which to conclude that discussions were misleading or improper, and dismissed where protester failed to timely raise unequal discussions allegations.<\/li>\n
  2. Protest challenging the agency\u2019s cost realism evaluation of awardee\u2019s proposal is denied where the record shows that the analysis was reasonable and conducted in accordance with the solicitation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    DISCUSSION<\/p>\n

    The protester challenges numerous aspects of the agency\u2019s evaluation and resulting award decision. Protest at 11-27. Had the agency performed a proper evaluation, the protester contends, it would have been selected for award. We have considered the arguments and issues raised by Halvik, and while we do not address them all, we find no basis on which to sustain the protest. As representative examples, we discuss specifically Halvik\u2019s challenges to the agency\u2019s conduct of discussions and cost evaluation, as well as the resulting source selection decision.<\/p>\n

    DECISION<\/p>\n

    Halvik Corporation (Halvik), a small business of Vienna, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Federal Information Systems, Inc. (FIS), of San Antonio, Texas, under task order request for proposals (TORFP) No. 415828, issued by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), for cybersecurity services. The protester challenges the agency’s evaluation of proposals and resulting award decision.<\/p>\n

    We deny the protest.<\/p>\n
