Agency properly did not evaluate fixed-price proposals for price realism where the solicitation did not provide for such an evaluation. 2. Agency properly did not consider in its price evaluation the protester's proposed cost savings with regard to certain items and services where the solicitation did not request any price or cost information regarding these items and did not include any terms providing for the evaluation of these costs. 3. Agency properly considered the availability of certain of the awardee's parent company's resources where there was no provision in the solicitation that precluded offerors from relying on the resources of the corporate parent in performing the contract, and the awardee's proposal represented through its reference to the parent company's resources that the resources would be committed to the contract. 4. The agency's selection of a slightly lower-rated, lower-priced proposal for award of a contract for the operation and maintenance of certain ships is unobjectionable where the evaluation and source selection were adequately documented, consistent with the terms of the solicitation, and reasonably based.
