Under a negotiated procurement for the design and construction of military family housing, the agency was not required to raise during discussions that an offeror's price exceeded the solicitation's stated cost objective, which was not an absolute limit, where the offeror's price was evaluated as realistic, reasonable, complete, and low risk. 2. Under a solicitation for the design and construction of military family housing, which encouraged offerors to propose enhancements to the specifications as part of their offer to obtain additional technical credit, the agency was not required to advise an offeror during discussions of those enhancements evaluated as only marginally beneficial so that the offeror could delete those enhancements and lower its price, since those enhancements, which contributed to the offeror's high technical rating, were neither deficiencies, weaknesses, nor excesses. DECISION Holmes and Narver, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Harper/Nielsen- Dillingham under request for proposals (RFP) No. F04684-94-R-0027, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the second phase of a military family housing construction project at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
