Record does not demonstrate that awardee intentionally misrepresented status of proposed key employee as employee rather than consultant, where there is no evidence that awardee was aware that the individual had been sent, and signed, a consultant agreement rather than an employment agreement, and the individual clearly agreed to employee status prior to award.<p/>2. Protest that agency improperly held discussions (on limited matters) only with awardee will not be sustained where protester does not establish prejudice by showing that it would have altered its proposal to its competitive advantage had it been included in discussions.<p/>3. Evaluation of proposals was reasonable where information provided by awardee in response to agency's questions demonstrated that awardee's proposal met the requirements of the solicitation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-270075/html/GAOREPORTS-B-270075.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-270075/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-270075.pdf GAO/B-270075 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-270075 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-270075; Strategic Analysis, Inc.;
