Selection of Higher Priced but Significantly Technically Superior Offer

A protest was made to the award of a fixed-price contract for: (1) the development and presentation of assertiveness training seminars for women; and (2) consultation services in connection with video tape and package development and related training. The selection of a higher priced but significantly technically superior offer was not objectionable in view of evaluation criteria, which gave greater weight to technical than to price considerations, and in the absence from the record of any indication that the proposal evaluation was unreasonable. The protest was denied.
