File: B-290085.2 Date: June 17, 2002 Ralph Weber for the protester. Sherry Kinland Kaswell, Esq., Alton E. Woods, Esq., and Hugo Teufel, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that the awardee's proposal was unbalanced is denied where there is no evidence that any of awardee's prices were so overstated as to create any concern of risk to the government. 2. Protest against agency's past performance evaluation is denied where the record shows the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the evaluation criteria; agency was not required to give evaluation preference or additional credit for protester's past performance as the incumbent. 3. Where protester's and awardee's proposals were properly evaluated as technically equal, and awardee's proposed price was lower than the protester's, the agency reasonably determined that awardee's proposal represented the best value to the government.
