Solicitation Language Stating that Agency May Reject Proposal that has Unrealistic Contract Terms Does Not Obligate Agency to Perform a Price Realism Analysis; COFC 16-1536C, UnitedHealth Military & Veterans Services LLC v. United States

Protest alleging the agency erred in not performing a price realism analysis is denied, where the award was for a fixed-price contract, the solicitation did not state or imply that a realism analysis would be performed, and language in the solicitation referring to realism of contract terms was insufficient to require a price realism evaluation.
