Agency Not Required to Hold Fourth Round of Discussions After Issuing Amendment Making Minor Changes to RFP; B-414109, Marine Design Dynamics Inc.

Protest challenging the agency’s conduct of discussions is denied, where the agency held three rounds of written discussions during which it informed the protester of issues with its proposal, and was not required to conduct additional discussions after the solicitation was amended to advise the protester of the same issues; and protest challenging the agency’s technical evaluation is denied, where the solicitation advised offerors to incorporate the agency’s milestone dates in their project plans, but the protester used its own dates, despite being warned during discussions that this decision rendered its proposal noncompliant.
