Procurement Procedures with Regard to Solicitation of Firm Fixed Price Offers from Small Businesses

The protester objected to the award of any contract under a solicitation for firm fixed price offers from small businesses. Protests regarding solicitation requirements and alleged improper action by the procuring agency in requesting extensions of the proposal acceptance period with no opportunity for revisions were untimely. The protest alleging improper action by the procuring agency in requesting proposal acceptance date extensions after previous extensions had expired was denied. The protest based on the agency's failure to conduct oral or written discussions was denied since the solicitation provided that an award based on initial proposals could be made without negotiations.
