Award of contracts to an offeror under a predetermined cost/technical tradeoff formula which the solicitation stated was intended to be strictly followed by the agency to determine the awardee is proper where, although the formula actually applied by the contracting agency was not consistent with that stated in the solicitation due to a flaw in the computer program used by the agency, the record shows that the award was made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value proposal under a proper application of the stated tradeoff formula.<p/>2. Agency's upward adjustment of protester's proposed cost for a cost reimbursement contract is reasonable where the protester introduced labor overhead rate reductions in its best and final offer without a reasonable explanation for the reduction, or without providing documentation supporting the rate. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-271144-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-271144-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-271144-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-271144-2.pdf GAO/B-271144.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-271144-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-271144.2; General Offshore Corporation-Riedel Company, a Joint Venture;
