DIGEST

1. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of price is sustained where the agency
failed to reasonably determine whether offerors' proposed prices were fair and
reasonable.

2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal under the
most important non-price factor, the innovation factor, is denied where there is no
evidence that the protester was prejudiced by any alleged evaluation errors.

3. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of awardees' proposals under the
innovation factor is denied where the record reflects that the agency's evaluation was
reasonable and consistent with the solicitation.

4. Protest alleging that the agency identified strengths in other offerors' proposals, but
unreasonably failed to recognize similar strengths in the protester's proposal is denied
where the agency provided a meaningful explanation for differences in its assignment of
strengths to the proposals.
