Reduction in Price Allow Insufficient to Trigger New Risk Assessment; GAO B-414331.5, Specmat Technologies Inc.

Protest challenging the Air Force’s contract award is denied, where the agency reasonably considered the awardee’s past performance, where the agency was not required to conduct a new risk assessment merely because the awardee reduced its price in its final proposal revision, and where the solicitation did not require nor allow a price realism evaluation.
