RFP Contemplated Price Reasonableness Evaluation, Not Price Realism Analysis; COFC No. 16-1684C, Munilla Construction Management, LLC v. The United States

Protest challenging the agency’s evaluation of pricing for a fixed price contract awarded on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis is denied, where the solicitation contemplated a price reasonableness evaluation but did not provide for a price realism analysis, and therefore the agency was required only to consider whether the awardee’s pricing was reasonable in comparison to that of other offerors’ but not whether it was too low.
