Summary

The protester objected to a proposed contract award because the contracting agency conducted "touch-up" negotiations with only one of two offerors in the competitive range after the receipt of best and final offers. Since the negotiations resulted in changes to the offeror's proposed cost and fee, the agency should reopen negotiations, give offerers a reasonable chance to submit new best and final offers, and properly terminate negotiations upon receipt of those offers by a common cutoff date.
