Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting officer's request for the submission of a surety letter does not require the agency to open discussions with all offerors where the agency intended to make award without discussions, and where the surety letter was not considered in the evaluation of the offeror's proposal. DECISION Hamilton Pacific Chamberlain, LLC (HPC), a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), of Waldorf, Maryland, protests the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) decision to reject its proposals in response to request for proposals (RFP) Nos. VA246-14-R-0316 and VA246-14-R-0317 for construction work at various VA facilities in North Carolina.1 HPC argues that the VA's rejection was improper because the agency failed to consider the protester's surety letters which were submitted at the agency's request. We deny the protest. 1 RFP-0316 was for construction work at locations in Asheville and Salisbury, North Carolina. RFP-0316 at 1. RFP-0317 was for construction work at locations in Hampton and Richmond, North Carolina. RFP-0317 at 1.
