General Accounting Office has jurisdiction to consider protest where, notwithstanding the concomitant sale of government property, one of procurement's main objectives was acquisition of potable water and wastewater treatment services to Army for a 10-year period.<p/>2. Protest that agency improperly required a particular technical approach and that neither solicitation nor discussions alerted protester to the evaluation impact of not proposing that approach is denied where protester was aware that solicitation, which stated that this particular technical approach would be the subject of the second most heavily weighted evaluation factor, was silent as to evaluation impact of not adopting the approach, yet protester did not file a timely solicitation challenge; even assuming agency error in this part of evaluation, it did not prejudice protester's chances of receiving award.<p/>3. Protest that awardee's proposal contained material misrepresentations that were relied upon by agency in evaluating proposals is denied where examination of the awardee's proposal reveals no misrepresentations. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-283259/html/GAOREPORTS-B-283259.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-283259/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-283259.pdf GAO/B-283259 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-283259 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-283259; Government of Harford County, Maryland, B-283259; B-283259.3, October 28, 1999;
