Exclusion of proposal from competitive range is unobjectionable where agency reasonably concluded that the proposal contained informational deficiencies and other weaknesses that warranted an evaluation rating of marginally acceptable, and the proposed price was relatively high, so that the proposal had no reasonable chance of being selected for award.<p/>2. Although price proposals were improperly evaluated, protest is nonetheless denied where the agency's error inured to the benefit of the protester.<p/>3. Amendment of solicitation after competitive range has been determined does not require revising the competitive range determination where the amendment does not materially change the basis on which initial offers were solicited and submitted. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-285060/html/GAOREPORTS-B-285060.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-285060/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-285060.pdf GAO/B-285060 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-285060 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-285060; American Medical Depot, B-285060; B-285060.2; B-285060.3, July 12, 2000;
