BAFO (Best and Final Offer).

A BAFO is the final proposal revision a contracting officer requests after discussions, giving offerors one last chance to sharpen price and technical terms before award.

§ 01 · Definition

What it means.

In practice, for a bidder.

Under FAR 15.307 this step is formally called a Final Proposal Revision (FPR), though the term BAFO remains in common use. A BAFO request signals you are in the competitive range; it is a defined, invited step, so sending unsolicited revised terms outside it is not the same thing.
