File:        B-415193.2; B-415193.3

Date:       April 2, 2018

James L. Mayer, Esq., and Jennifer E. Borsoni, Esq., The Law Offices of James L.

DIGEST

1. Protest that agency unreasonably found the protester's pricing to be unbalanced due
to a faulty independent government estimate is denied, where the agency also
compared the protester's pricing to other offerors.

2. Protest that the agency unreasonably concluded that the protester's unbalanced
pricing presented a risk to the government is denied, where the agency identified
multiple reasons the pricing presented risk.

3. Protester is not competitively prejudiced by the agency's application of an unstated
evaluation criterion because the selection decision focused on the risk of the protester's
unbalanced pricing and the benefits of the awardee's proposal.
