Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's tradeoff decisions in favor of awardees' proposals is unobjectionable where the agency reasonably determined that the protester's proposal did not represent the best value to the government in comparison to several lower-rated, lower-priced proposals, or a higher-rated, higher-priced proposal. 2. Agency's conclusions that the offerors' proposals were essentially equivalent under multiple evaluation factors is not unreasonable where the underlying evaluation reflects that the proposals, although not identical, were closely balanced in multiple respects.
