Matter of: AAR Defense Systems & Logistics File: B-413284 Date: September 22, 2016 Joel Singer, Esq., Mark P. Guerrera, Esq., Patrick K. O'Keefe, Esq., and Kyle J. Fiet, Esq., Sidley Austin LLP, for the protester. Craig A. Holman, Esq., Kara L. Daniels, Esq., and Amanda Johnson, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for L-3 Communications Vertex Aerospace, LLC, the intervenor. Maj. George M. Ebert, and Lt. Col. Christine C. Piper, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably determined that an evaluated weakness in the awardee's proposal was not a significant discriminator between the awardee's and the protester's proposals, and that the evaluated weakness was not a basis to assign a higher technical risk rating. 2. Agency reasonably evaluated awardee's past performance as satisfactory based on the agency's consideration of various references submitted by the awardee, along with additional information. 3. Agency reasonably evaluated awardee's proposed price as realistic where it compared the proposed prices to each other and to the independent government estimate, and considered additional data and explanation supporting the awardee's proposed price. 4. Protest that agency failed to perform a cost/technical tradeoff is denied where the agency's source selection decision expressly considered the offerors' prices and concluded that protester's slightly higher-rated proposal was not worth its higher price.
