Getting “Real” – Agency’s Inadequate Price Realism Evaluation Supports Protest

In Apogee Engineering, LLC, 2019 CPD 85, 2019 WL 927366 (February 21, 2019), the GAO recently sustained a protest, due to, among other things, the agency’s failure to show that it performed an adequate price realism evaluation as required by the RFP. From the agency’s perspective — it is essential to document the record to demonstrate that all required proposal evaluations were performed and how they were performed.
