Agency decision is unobjectionable even though the protester's quoted price, if adjusted for the same eliminated requirements, would be lower than selected vendor's adjusted price where determination to eliminate preparatory contract requirements was based on firm having certain specific experience which selected vendor possessed, and protester did not. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-277845/html/GAOREPORTS-B-277845.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-277845/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-277845.pdf GAO/B-277845 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-277845 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-277845; Brewer-Taylor Associates, B-277845, October 30, 1997;
