Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Price realism evaluation of awardee's proposal was unobjectionable where agency reviewed the offeror's detailed justifications for its proposed level of effort, including its unique methods of performance; noted that the proposed labor rates were comparable to those under a different agency contract for similar work; and concluded that the awardee's approach represented reasonable economy and efficiency.

Participation in the competition was restricted to section 8(a) small disadvantaged vendors holding General Services Administration's Streamlined Technology Applications Resource for Services (STARS) II government-wide acquisition contracts.

BACKGROUND The RFP sought performance-based proposals for services in support of the administrative management systems (AMS) of DOS's Bureau of Consular Affairs.
