Protest that contracting agency improperly failed to evaluate proposals reasonably and in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation criteria is denied where the record does not support the allegations; a protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusions does not render the evaluation unreasonable.<p/>2. Allegation that agency misled protester to curtail price reduction in its best and final offer (BAFO) is denied where record shows that the protester was merely advised that its price was competitive and its escalation rates appeared reasonable and within anticipated increases; protester's determination as to what extent to lower its BAFO price reflects its own business judgment. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-279221/html/GAOREPORTS-B-279221.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-279221/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-279221.pdf GAO/B-279221 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-279221 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-279221; Ideal Electronic Security Company, B-279221; B-279221.2, May;
