FILE: B 7199755.2             OATE: May fl,9 1981

MATTER OF:    Colorado'Research and Prediction
                Laboratory, Inc. -- Reconsideration

DIGEST:


1.   Protest regarding insufficiency of
     information in amended solicitation,
     allegedly included in protester's
     proposal dated one day before. next
     closing date for receipt of propos-
     als, cannot be regarded as timely
     protest (filed before time for re-
     ceipt of revised proposals) to con-
     tracting agency, since there is no
     obligation that agency read or eval-
     uate proposals until after amended
     closing date.

2.   Incumbent contractor's selection for
     award does not prove that protester
     had insufficient information to prepare
     competitive proposal, but only that
     incumbent has been-evaluated as having
     superior technical proposal.

3.   There is no requirement that Govern-
     ment equalize competitive advantage
     gained by incumbent or past contractor
     unless it results from Preference or
     unfair action by Government.

4.   Regulations require that contracting
     agency conduct written or oral discus-
     sions with all responsible offerors
     whose proposals,. considering price
     or cost, technical, and other salient
     factors, have reasonable chance of being
     selected for award.

     In Colorado Research and Prediction Laboratory, Inc.,
B-199755,*Warch 5, 1981, 81-1 CPD 170, we denied a part
and dismissed the remainder of a protest regarding the
Air Force's award to an incumbent contractor, Megapulse,
