The primary objective of discussions is to
a. maximize the governments ability to obtain best value on the requirement and the evaluation factors.
b. reduce the number of offerors in the competitive range through exploring deficiencies, significant weaknesses, and adverse past performance information.
c. discuss competing offeror technical approaches with other offerors.
d. allow oral presentations from competitive offerors so that sensitive and proprietary information can be communicated without including it within the formal response to the solicitation.
