B-228888 [Protest of Navy Contract Award for Computer Subsystems]

1. Permitting one of two offerors to perform a second equipment demonstration (after first demonstration did not show the proposed computer system met all compatibility requirements) following receipt of best and final offers without reopening discussions with second offeror is unobjectionable where: (1) second offeror already had performed fully successful equipment demonstration; and (2) agency did not contemplate further discussions or proposal revisions based on the second demonstration. Under the circumstances, second demonstration merely verified proposed system and did not constitute discussions.
