Klein, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Gary R. Allen, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. In a procurement for the lease of office space, protest that an agency's price evaluation failed to reasonably account for moving costs is denied where the agency reasonably evaluated offerors' proposed prices consistent with solicitation evaluation criteria. 2. Protest that an agency failed to amend its solicitation to reflect that the agency would not need secure compartmentalized information facility (SCIF) space is denied where the solicitation did not identify any amount of SCIF space. 3. An agency is not required during discussions to correct the protester's (the incumbent contractor) guess as to the amount of the agency's internal estimate of moving costs to be added to other competitors' offers. DECISION Potomac Creek Associates, L.L.C., of Washington, D.C., protests the award of a lease to Parcel 47D, LLC, of Washington, D.C., by the General Services Administration (GSA) under request for lease proposals (RLP) No. 0DC2052, for the lease of office space in Washington, D.C. The protester challenges the agency's price evaluation and conduct of discussions. Potomac Creek also complains that the solicitation did not reflect the agency's needs and that the agency failed to amend the RLP.
