Protest against price evaluation which was limited to evaluation of an undisclosed hypothetical task order based on line item prices furnished by offerors, without agency obtaining technical input from the offerors, is untimely where price evaluation methodology was clear on face of solicitation, and protester did not file its protest prior to closing time for receipt of initial proposals.<p/>2. Failure of individual evaluators to comment upon proposals under each evaluation factor in evaluation worksheets does not render evaluation flawed--there is no general requirement for such all-inclusive comments--particularly where consensus evaluation sheet contained references to proposal advantages and disadvantages, as well as consensus scores.<p/>3. Where solicitation contemplated award of service contract to a firm qualifying under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, and included the provision at Federal Acquisition Regulation sect. 52.219-14 concerning limitation on subcontracting, agency properly limited its consideration to the offeror?s experience as prime contractor. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-282140/html/GAOREPORTS-B-282140.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-282140/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-282140.pdf GAO/B-282140 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-282140 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-282140; North State Resources, Inc., B-282140, June 7, 1999;
