Protest that agency improperly failed to evaluate option pricing, as required under the solicitation, is denied where record shows that option pricing was in fact considered. 2. Protest that award was improper because, contrary to solicitation requirement that offered space be vertically and horizontally contiguous, awardee proposed a vacant floor as expansion space, is denied where protester was informed during the procurement that agency*s interpretation of requirement would permit offerors to propose a vacant floor for future expansion. 3. Agency was not required to hold discussions regarding areas of protester*s proposal that were weak, but acceptable, and that did not prevent the protester from having a reasonable opportunity for award. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-292984/html/GAOREPORTS-B-292984.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-292984/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-292984.pdf GAO/B-292984 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-292984 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-292984; Hines Chicago Investments, LLC, B-292984, December 17, 2003;
