Protest challenging agency's evaluation of awardee's past performance is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the evaluation criteria set forth in the solicitation.<p/>2. Award in best value procurement to firm whose lower-price proposal was rated lower than protester's proposal for past performance is unobjectionable, despite solicitation provision that past performance was to be considered more important than price, where solicitation did not provide for award on the basis of highest past performance rating, and agency reasonably concluded that paying the approximate [deleted]-percent price premium for the protester's higher-rated past performance was not warranted in light of the satisfactory past performance of the awardee and the awardee's substantially lower-proposed price. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278584/html/GAOREPORTS-B-278584.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278584/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-278584.pdf GAO/B-278584 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-278584 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-278584; U.S. Technology Corporation, B-278584, February 17, 1998;
