Johnny Litman III, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Robert Arsenoff, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly rejected proposal as technically unacceptable and failed to conduct meaningful discussions with the protester is denied where discussion question reasonably apprised protester of its proposal's technical deficiency, and protester failed to correct the deficiency unambiguously in its best and final offer. DECISION TRS Research (TRS) protests the rejection of its proposal as technically unacceptable under request for proposals (RFP) No. M67004-96-R-0031, issued by the United States Marine Corps for collapsible flatrack containers to be used on shipboard to hold expeditionary airfield modules. TRS alleges that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions and improperly determined that its proposal was technically no nc o mpliant. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on June 6, 1996, with an original closing date of July 7. Award was to be made to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. Section 3.0 of the statement of work (SOW) provided that the minimum clear loading dimensions for the containers were 224.5 inches in length, 95.5 inches in width, and 89.79 inches in height. Section 3.3 of the SOW required offerors to submit two complete sets of blueprint/design drawings indicating the container measurements in U.S. measures and bearing the stamped approval of an internationally recognized agency such as the American Bureau of Shipping or Lloyds Register of Industrial Services. 20917
