Agency properly may reopen discussions and request an additional round of best and final offers from all competitive range offerors in order to permit offeror an opportunity to correct proposal deficiency and possibly obtain lower price; agency reasonably determined that reopening in such circumstances is in government's interest.<p/>2. Where agency provided protester with evaluation information during debriefing held before making award to another offeror, but subsequently determined that it was necessary to reopen the competition, agency properly equalized the protester's potential competitive advantage by disclosing similar information to the other offerors in the competition. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274140-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-274140-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-274140-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-274140-2.pdf GAO/B-274140.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-274140-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-274140.2; The Cowperwood Company;
