Forbes, Esq., and Bryant S. Banes, Esq., Neel Hooper & Banes, PC, for the protester. Steven W. Feldman, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably rejected the protester's submission on Phase I of a design/build construction procurement conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 36.3, where major weaknesses were found in the submission, such that the protester was reasonably determined to be not one of the most highly qualified offerors to be invited to participate in Phase I1. 2. In a design/build construction procurement that was conducted in accordance with FAR subpart 36.3, agency's decision to hold discussions with only the higher rated phase I offerors as part of the process of determining the most highly qualified Phase I offerors to be invited to participate in Phase II was unobjectionable. 3. In a design/build construction procurement that was conducted in accordance with FAR subpart 36.3, where an agency issues an amendment to the solicitation changing the evaluation criteria applicable to Phase I of the acquisition after the Phase I submissions were received, and the amendment allows for revisions to the Phase I submissions, but does not provide a closing date, an agency is not required to consider revisions to a submission that are provided more than 2 months after the amendment was issued; after the agency completed what was, in essence, a competitive range exclusion; and after the agency advised the offeror in a debriefing of the problems found in its submission.
