Allegation that agency's cost realism analysis was flawed because it failed to consider differences in direct labor rates between the awardee's proposed rates and the protester's higher rates is denied, where the record shows that the agency reasonably relied on reviews and recommendations by Defense Contract Audit Agency of the awardee's direct labor hourly rates, and the agency reasonably determined that the projected cost of awardee's performance presented no technical risk.<p/>2. Allegation that awardee engaged in prohibited "bait and switch" tactic is denied where there is no showing that the offeror knowingly or negligently made any misrepresentation regarding employees that it did not expect to furnish during contract performance.<p/>3. Protester's contention that agency improperly evaluated its proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation and the record reasonably supports the evaluators' ratings. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-283650/html/GAOREPORTS-B-283650.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-283650/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-283650.pdf GAO/B-283650 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-283650 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-283650; Advanced Communication Systems, Inc., B-283650; B-283650.2; B-283650.3, December 16, 1999;
