Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably exercised discretion in implementing recommendation made in GAO decision, which sustained a protest on the basis that the agency misevaluated one of the three evaluation subfactors of the mission capability factor included in the solicitation, when it decided to not reopen discussions, to not reevaluate past performance (because GAO denied the protest of this evaluation), and to evaluate all subfactors of the mission capability factor. 2. Agency reasonably determined that the strengths in the awardee's proposal that were found to be a significant benefit to the agency were sufficient to offset the price advantage of the protester's proposal, which did not offer comparable strengths.
