Protester Declined Agency Offer to Exchange Cost Estimates and Resolve Challenge Without Involving GAO; GAO B-413558.4, 4H Construction Corporation

Protest challenging the agency’s decision to convert an acquisition from a sealed bid procurement to a negotiated procurement, based on the agency’s finding that the prices received in response to the invitation for bids were unreasonably high, is denied, where the protester declined the opportunity to review the government’s estimate for the work and revise its bid price, and where the protester was not prejudiced by this decision, because it would have the opportunity to submit a proposal under the negotiated procurement.
