SSA Not Required to Agree With Findings of Evaluation Board; GAO B-414352.2, PiperCoughlin LLC

Protest challenging the findings of the source selection authority is denied, where the SSA reasonably disagreed with the conclusions of lower level evaluators and thoroughly documented his own evaluation findings; and protest arguing that a weakness should have been considered an administrative error is denied, where the protester was responsible for a mismatch between the number of hours in its staffing plan and its price proposal.
