Protest that agency improperly considered as an advantage incumbent's superior experience with, and resulting knowledge of, software in weapons systems to be supported under contemplated contract, and as a disadvantage protester's relative lack of experience in this regard, is denied where solicitation requested information with respect to contracts for similar work and expressly provided for consideration of offerors' relevant and recent experience under a number of evaluation factors. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-257607-3/html/GAOREPORTS-B-257607-3.htm GAO/B-257607.3 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-257607-3 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-257607.3; United International Engineering, Inc.;
