Highlights

A firm protested an Army contract award, arguing that the Army's technical evaluation incorrectly determined its bid to be equal to another bidder's. That bidder received the award because it had a lower proposed cost. The protester also argued that the Army did not conduct a proper cost realism analysis of the awardee's bid. GAO held that, since the protester failed to provide evidence showing that the technical evaluation was incorrect, the issue was not considered. GAO also held that the Army's cost realism analysis of the awardee's bid was reasonable and that the protester did not provide evidence to the contrary. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
