Agency Not Required to Point Out High-Priced CLINs in Discussions When It Determines Overall Price is Reasonable; COFC No. 15-272C, Greenland Contractors I/S v. United States

Protest challenging the agency’s discussions as misleading is denied, where the agency was not required to evaluate all pricing categories for reasonableness, and where the agency concluded that the protester’s overall price was reasonable, and therefore was not required to point out higher-priced CLINs during discussions; and protest arguing that the agency failed to evaluate whether offerors had justified their significantly lower pricing is denied, where the solicitation permitted the agency to evaluate whether offerors had justified unique practices that contributed to lower pricing, but did not require the agency to consider whether offerors had justified lower prices in general.
