Protest that the agency failed to consider the risk of the awardee's low price in evaluating the awardee's technical proposal is dismissed, where the solicitation did not provide for price realism analysis. 2. Protest that the agency unreasonably considered the awardee's proposed non-significant subcontractor is denied, where the solicitation did not expressly prohibit such consideration. 3. Protest that the source selection authority failed to comply with the terms of the solicitation in conducting the best-value tradeoff analysis is denied, where the record shows that the tradeoff analysis was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION Advanced C4 Solutions, Inc. (AC4S), of Tampa, Florida, a small business, protests the award of a contract to VISTA Technology Services, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, also a small business, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HM0476-17-R-0023, issued by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) for expeditionary support services.
