Protest that agency waived mandatory technical specification for awardee is denied where awardee's proposal documents reasonably convey intent to comply with specification.<p/>2. Protest that awardee's prices were materially unbalanced is denied where base price reasonably reflects price of engineering modification to commercial specifications required for production of first 20 prototypes; awardee's price becomes low in the first option period of the contract (which included four option periods); and the agency reasonably expected to exercise all options.<p/>3. Protest that agency improperly relied on unstated evaluation criteria is denied where the record shows that the agency's judgments were reasonable and consistent with the explicit terms of the solicitation.<p/>4. Protest that agency improperly ignored negative pre-award survey in evaluating awardee's management experience and responsibility is denied where in the course of making its responsibility determination, the agency thoroughly considered the pre-award survey and reasonably concluded that awardee's successful production and delivery experience under eight recent contracts for identical items sufficiently rebutted concerns set forth in the survey regarding awardee's delinquent performance on another contract for a different type of item. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-265602/html/GAOREPORTS-B-265602.htm GAO/B-265602 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-265602 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-265602; Corion Corporation;
