Where solicitation for registered nurses (RN) listed experience as an evaluation factor and specifically requested information concerning the numbers and types of personnel previously provided, agency reasonably evaluated whether offerors had specific experience providing RNs in the numbers contemplated by the solicitation.<p/>2. The concept of unbalancing is not applicable in a negotiated procurement in which price is not the primary factor in the award decision. <p/>3. Protest against award without discussions is denied where solicitation advised offerors of the agency's intent to award the contract without discussions, and agency reasonably determined that awardee's proposal was realistically priced and represented the best value to the government.<p/>4. Agency properly may accept from the offeror already selected for award a post-closing modification to its proposed price. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-262254-3/html/GAOREPORTS-B-262254-3.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-262254-3/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-262254-3.pdf GAO/B-262254.3 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-262254-3 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-262254.3; Human Resource Systems, Inc.; Health Staffers, Inc.;
