Contracting agency properly did not downgrade or reject proposal based on awardee's proposed exclusive use of a subcontractor's facility for performance of contract, where solicitation did not restrict use of subcontractors in performing the contract, and record demonstrates that subcontractor's facility was fully available by lease with the government during entire duration of the contract.<p/>2. Contracting agency reasonably determined that awardee's price was not unrealistically low where the cost difference between protester's and awardee's proposals was driven by differences in proposed labor hours and rates, with awardee proposing rudimentary, but satisfactory, technical approach requiring significantly fewer hours, and lower labor rates as confirmed by Defense Contract Audit Agency audit. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-283872/html/GAOREPORTS-B-283872.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-283872/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-283872.pdf GAO/B-283872 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-283872 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-283872; Cascade General, Inc., B-283872, January 18, 2000;
