DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably calculated its government should cost estimate used in the economic analysis required by 10 U.S.C. § 2688 (2009) to determine whether the privatization of an electric utility system would reduce the long-term cost to the government of the utility system. Based on this economic analysis, the agency reasonably concluded that the awardee's proposal provided the required long-term cost reduction, and determined that the protester was ineligible for award because its proposal did not reduce the long-term cost to the government. 2. Protest that the agency unreasonably determined the protester's technical capability was unacceptable and high in risk is denied, where the record shows the agency reasonably determined that the protester's plans to perform the work were unacceptable and that its performance risk and cost realism risks were high. DECISION Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE), of Baltimore, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to City Light and Power, Inc. (CLP), of Long Beach, California, by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0600-08-R-0804, for privatization of the electric distribution system at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Edgewood, Maryland. We deny the protest.
