Agency’s Price Evaluation Amounted to Improper Price Realism Evaluation, but Protester Not Prejudiced by Error; GAO B-415193.2, Crawford RealStreet Joint Venture

Protest that the agency unreasonably found the protester’s pricing to be unbalanced due to a faulty independent government estimate is denied, where the agency also compared the protester’s pricing to other offerors, and protest that the agency unreasonably concluded that the protester’s unbalanced pricing presented performance risk is denied, where the agency reasonably identified several risks, including that the protester’s low labor rates would make it more difficult to hire qualified employees.
