Protest that firm, fixed-price contract format imposes undue risk on the contractor is denied where protester has not shown that choice of format was unreasonable; the majority of the required contract effort consisted of requirements for services of certain quantities and delivery times, and the solicitation provided a mechanism for adjusting the contract price to reflect any changes in actual requirements.<p/>2. Solicitation provision for single price to be used in pricing both permanent increases and decreases in guard service hours of up to 25 percent is not improper; the provision affects all potential offerors equally and offerors are expected to determine their prices taking into consideration amount of risk involved. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-261879/html/GAOREPORTS-B-261879.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-261879/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-261879.pdf GAO/B-261879 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-261879 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-261879; DGS Contract Services, Inc.;
