Protest that the agency applied an unstated evaluation criterion in assessing a significant strength to the awardee's quotation is denied where the agency assessed the significant strength based on an aspect of the awardee's quotation that was reasonably encompassed by the solicitation's evaluation criteria. 2. Protest that the agency's technical evaluation was unequal is denied where the record shows that the agency assessed strengths to the awardee and not to the protester as a result of differences in the vendors' quotations. 3. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the protester's quotation in failing to assess a significant strength for its incumbent experience is denied where the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. 4. Protest that the agency failed to hold meaningful discussions because it did not advise the protester that its technical strengths were not worth its price premium is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency meaningfully discussed the protester's technical weaknesses and the protester's price was found to be fair and reasonable. 5. Protest alleging that the agency's selection decision improperly assigned unequal weight to the five technical capability subfactors is denied where the record reflects that the agency assigned equal weight to the subfactors.
