Where solicitation incorporated a Critical Requirements List (CRL) and expressly advised offerors that the CRL reflected the agency's minimum requirements, and agency further reminded protester during oral presentation and in subsequent written evaluation notices that all CRL items must be met, protester's assertion that the solicitation "[did] not indicate in any way that the CRL will be considered in source selection" is without basis.<p/>2. Agency reasonably rejected protester's proposal as "not technically sound or failing to meet the agency's needs" where protester's proposal failed to provide adequate assurance that the protester's contract performance would comply with several aspects of the solicitation's minimum requirements.<p/>3. Agency's discussions with protester were meaningful where written evaluation notices advised protester of multiple portions of its proposal which failed to comply with solicitation's minimum requirements. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-286466/html/GAOREPORTS-B-286466.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-286466/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-286466.pdf GAO/B-286466 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-286466 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-286466; Interstate Electronics Corporation, B-286466; B-286466.2, January 12, 2001;
