Solicitation Did Not Bind Agency to Particular Methodology for Price Realism Analysis; COFC No. 16-710 C, System Dynamics International, Inc. v. United States

Protest challenging the agency’s exclusion of a proposal from the competitive range is denied, where the protester’s argument the agency omitted necessary information from the solicitation is untimely, because it should have been raised prior to the submission of proposals; and where the solicitation did not require the agency to use any specific methodology to conduct its price realism analysis, and the method it chose was reasonable.
