MATTER   OF: Century arass Products, Inc.

DIGEST;

1.  Where request for proposals requires technical
    proposals to be sufficfently detailed to demonstrate
    offeror's thorough understanding of contemplated
    effort, proposal is properly rejected as technically
    unacceptable where offeror fails to cure, after
    written and oral discussions, material informational
    deficiencies indicating offeror's lack of under-
    standing of scope of work.

2.  Written and oral discussions were both meaningful
    and legally sufficient where informational deficien-
    cies in proposal were indicated to protester with
    specificity, and protestec was afforded opportunity
    to cure deficiencies through submission of revised
    proposal.


3.  Low price proposed
    tion when proposal


by
is


offeror is not for considera-
technically unacceptable.


4.  Requirement that agency provide prompt post-award
    notification to unsuccessful offerors of reasons
    for rejection of their proposals, is procedural  in
    nature and a failure to comply with requirement
    does not affect validity of award.

5.  Protest contention regarding alleged pricing
    deficiency in successful offeror's proposal  is un-
    timely and not for consideration since it was not
    filed within 10 working days from time basis for
    allegations should have been known.

6.  Objection to an affirmative determination of respon-
    sibility will not be considered since neither fraud
    nor noncompliance with definitive criteria are alleged.
