Agency properly rejected facsimile best and final offer as late where offeror failed to allow a reasonable time for timely receipt by the agency.<p/>2. Where entire best and final offer (BAFO) was not received until after announced deadline, agency was not required to consider that portion of the BAFO received before the deadline (8 of 19 total pages) since it did not constitute the entire offer and did not convey protester's full commitment to the solicitation's requirements.<p/>3. Where agency properly eliminated protester from further consideration due to negative past performance record, protester is not an interested party to challenge agency's evaluation of its initial price proposal.<p/>4. Protest that awardee's prices are materially unbalanced is dismissed where even if this protest ground were sustained, another offeror would be in line for award instead of the protester. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-270107/html/GAOREPORTS-B-270107.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-270107/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-270107.pdf GAO/B-270107 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-270107 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-270107; Cyber Digital, Inc.;
