If the contracting officer elects not to award without discussions under § 1633, or not to negotiate with the highest ranked offeror before determining a competitive range under § 1634, the contracting officer may choose to conduct written or oral discussions with all offerors in the competitive range pursuant to § 1632.1(c).
If this process is chosen, the contracting officer shall determine which proposals are in the competitive range, and shall conduct written or oral discussions with the offerors which submitted those proposals.
