Agency's determination that protester's revised proposal remained technically unacceptable after discussions, and that the proposal should be eliminated from further consideration for award, was proper where the agency reasonably concluded that the proposal would require major revision in order to become acceptable and the record shows that, in light of overall technical inferiority and higher price of its proposal, protester did not have a reasonable chance of receiving award.<p/>2. Protest that awardee fails to comply with solicitation's experience requirements is denied where solicitation did not expressly prohibit offerors from relying on proposed subcontractors to meet the requirements and awardee's proposal shows that proposed major subcontractor has required experience. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-277917/html/GAOREPORTS-B-277917.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-277917/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-277917.pdf GAO/B-277917 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-277917 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-277917; Magnum Products, Inc.; Amida Industries, Inc., B-277917; B-;
