DIGEST 1. Agency's consideration of more than three contracts in evaluating offerors' past performance was unobjectionable where solicitation required offerors to submit detailed information on three most relevant contracts, but did not specify three as the maximum, and specifically requested offerors to include in their proposals a listing of all contracts performed within past 3 years. 2. Agency's price reasonableness evaluation, which compared overall and individual prices, but did not penalize offeror for proposing lower rates than the incumbent, was unobjectionable; purpose of price reasonableness review is to determine whether prices offered are higher--as opposed to lower--than warranted. 3.
