Agency Not Required to Conduct Best Value Tradeoff When Awardee is Much Higher Rated and Much Lower Priced; COFC No. 18-512C, Technik Inc. v. United States and VSolvit LLC

Protest challenging the agency’s technical evaluation is denied, where the protester’s proposal contained contradictory information about whether certain staff would be cross-utilized, and protest arguing the agency failed to conduct a best value tradeoff is denied, where the awardee’s proposal was higher rated and lower priced, and therefore the agency was not required to make any tradeoff.
