1. Agency evaluation of technical proposals is unobjectionable where the record establishes that the evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusions does not render the evaluation unreasonable.<p/>2. Protest that agency failed to perform proper cost/technical tradeoff is denied where source selection official considered technical evaluations, past performance ratings, and cost in his award determination and reasonably determined that the evaluated technical superiority of the six highest technically-rated proposals warranted payment of the cost premium associated with certain of these proposals vis-�-vis other lower technically-rated, lower cost proposals. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278904/html/GAOREPORTS-B-278904.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-278904/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-278904.pdf GAO/B-278904 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-278904 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-278904; KRA Corporation, B-278904; B-278904.5, April 2, 1998; Title 41 Section 253a(b)(1)(A) 41 U.S.C. 253a(b)(1)(A)
