Highlights

The protester requested reconsideration of a decision which held that where proposals are regarded as essentially equal technically, award of the contract on the basis of price was proper, even though the technical matters were weighted more heavily than price for evaluation purposes. When competing proposals are equal technically, technical evaluation criteria, no matter how heavily weighted, do not provide a meaningful basis for contractor selection, leaving price as the determinative factor. The prior decision was affirmed.
