Awardee’s Higher Price Not Sign of Flawed Price Reasonableness Analysis; GAO B-413563, Cyber Solutions & Services, Inc. (d/b/a American Cyber, Inc.)

Protest that an awardee was ineligible for award under a small business set-aside because it would violate the solicitation’s limitation on subcontracting clause is denied where the awardee affirmed it would comply with the limitation, and the protester provided no evidence to the contrary; and protest that price reasonableness analysis was inadequate is denied, where the agency relied on an independent government cost estimate developed using the best available information, and where the agency reasonably concluded the awardee’s prices were reasonable, even though it also found lower-priced proposals also reasonable.
