Agency Within Its Discretion to Decline to Open Discussions to Allow Protester to Substitute Key Personnel; COFC No. 18-861C, Chenega Healthcare Services LLC v. United States and Kupono Government Services LLC

Protest challenging the agency’s decision not to hold discussions is denied, where the solicitation stated the agency’s intention to make award without opening discussions and clearly stated that an attempt to substitute key personnel after the submission of proposals would render a proposal unacceptable.
