             DIGEST

             1. Where, in response to General Accounting Office decision sustaining protest,
             discussions are reopened after offerors' prices have been revealed, agency may
             properly limit the scope of revisions offerors may make to their proposals and not
             allow offerors to revise their prices.

             2. Agency reasonably reopened limited technical discussions with, and requested
             new limited best and final offers (BAFO) from, all offerors in the competitive range
             in response to General Accounting Office decision sustaining protest and
             recommending a reopening of limited technical discussions with, and the
             solicitation of a new limited BAFO from, one of the offerors.
             DECISION

             ST Aerospace Engines Pte. Ltd. (STA Engines) protests the decision of the U.S.
             Coast Guard to reopen technical discussions with, but not to allow the submission
             of revised price proposals from, all competitive range offerors under request for
             proposals (RFP) No. DTCG38-94-R-30006, for the overhaul and repair of C-130 T56
             engine reduction gearboxes and torquemeters. The protester contends that, if
             offerors are allowed to revise their technical proposals, they should also be allowed
             to revise their prices.


We deny the protest.
