Protest of evaluation and award is denied where the record shows that the agency's source selection was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors.<p/> 2. Protest that agency should have engaged in clarifications with protester to resolve material omissions in its proposal is denied since any such exchange would have constituted discussions, not clarifications, and agency generally has no obligation to hold discussions where, as in the solicitation at issue, it put offerors on notice of its intent to make award on the basis of initial proposals. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297447-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-297447-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-297447-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-297447-2.pdf GAO/B-297447.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-297447-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-297447.2; B-297447.2, Gemmo-CCC, July 13, 2006;
