Kang, Esq., and John Sorrenti, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Challenges to the evaluation of the awardee's technical quotation and past performance are denied where the protester's arguments rely on definitions that are not found in the solicitation, and where the evaluations were reasonable and consistent with the solicitation criteria. 2. Challenge to the evaluation of the awardee's quoted price is denied where the agency reasonably found the awardee's quotation and discussions responses addressed the agency's concerns regarding the realism of certain prices. Argument that the awardee's price was unbalanced is denied where the agency reasonably found that the price was not substantially overstated and therefore did not present an unacceptable risk. DECISION CW Government Travel, Inc. (CWT), of Arlington, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to BCD Travel USA, LLC (BCD), of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 47QMCB20Q0010, which was issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for travel management company (TMC) services for the Department of the Army.
