Protest that the agency should have conducted a price realism evaluation is denied where the solicitation neither required nor permitted the agency to reject a proposal on the basis of an unrealistically low price. 2. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal is denied where the evaluation was consistent with the solicitation's terms and conditions, as well as applicable procurement statutes and regulations. 3. Protest that the source selection decision was unreasonable is denied where the record shows that the agency determined that the proposals were technically equivalent and the protester's advantage under the past performance factor was outweighed by the vastly lower price proposed by the awardee.
