Protester’s Disagreement with Outcome Insufficient to Overturn Tradeoff Decision; GAO B-415243, Democracy International Inc.

Protest challenging the agency’s selection of a lower-rated, lower-priced proposal is denied, where the agency carefully considered and documented its reasonable tradeoff rationale; and protest challenging the terms of the solicitation is denied as untimely, where any ambiguities were patent and should have been challenged prior to the receipt of proposals.
