DIGEST

1. Protest that awardee failed to comply with solicitation requirement to provide pricing
for all proposed subcontractors is denied, where the solicitation required pricing only for
subcontractors proposed to perform the required level of effort identified in the pricing
matrix.

2. Protest that the agency failed to appropriately assess the realism of the awardee's
labor rates is denied, where the record shows that the agency took into consideration
the unique features of the proposal.

3. Protest that the agency treated offerors unequally with respect to its cost realism
analysis is denied, where the record shows that the agency reasonably upwardly
adjusted the protester's labor rates because the protester failed to adequately support
the rates, and did not adjust the awardee's subcontractors' rates because they were
fixed ceiling rates.

4. Protest that the agency failed to engage in meaningful discussions is denied, where
the agency found the protester's overhead rates to be fair and reasonable.
