Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's price is denied where the agency determined that the price was fair and reasonable based on adequate price competition, and was not required to perform a price realism analysis because the solicitation did not provide for such an analysis.

(East/West), a small business, of Ronkonkoma, New York, under request for proposal (RFP) No. FA8533-14-R- 30933, which was issued by the Department of the Air Force for Multi Aircraft Canopy Cranes. AGE asserts that the Air Force failed to reasonably evaluate whether East/West's price was too low. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP, which was issued on March 18, 2015, as a small business set-aside, contemplated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract, consisting of a base year and four 1-year options, for Multi Aircraft Canopy Cranes with a lifting capacity of at least 1500 pounds.
