In a negotiated, best value procurement for office and related space, an agency may select a higher-rated, higher-priced proposal for award, where the agency reasonably determines in accordance with the stated evaluation factors that the technical merit of the higher-rated proposal outweighs the price advantage of the lower-rated proposal.

Acquest alleges various improprieties regarding the evaluation of proposals, and challenges the selection of Penrose's higher technically rated, higher evaluated price offer for award. We deny the protest.
