Madsen, Esq., David F. Dowd, Esq., Polly A. Myers, Esq., and Luke Levasseur, Esq., Mayer Brown LLP; and Bucky P. Mansuy, Esq., Lockheed Martin Corp., for the protester. Richard J. Conway, Esq., Michael J. Slattery, Esq., Amba Mitra Datta, Esq., and Pablo Nichols, Esq., Dickstein Shapiro LLP, for HP Enterprise Services, LLC, the intervenor. Vincent A. Salgado, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency's evaluation of two aspects of the awardee's proposal as constituting weaknesses rather than deficiencies was reasonable where the record demonstrates that the agency was fully aware of and understood the awardee's approach and considered the potential impact of these aspects of the awardee's approach on the successful performance of the contract in a manner that was consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Agency's evaluation of the awardee's price proposal is unobjectionable where the record evidences that the agency's determination that it had high confidence in the awardee's ability to perform the contract at the prices proposed was reasonably based and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 3. Agency was not required to inform the protester during discussions that certain of its proposed prices and its overall price were higher than the government's estimate, and higher than the awardee's proposed price, where the agency did not consider the awardee's proposed prices to be unreasonable given its technical approach.
