Agency evaluation of technical proposals is unobjectionable where the record establishes that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation factors; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's conclusions does not render the evaluation unreasonable.<p/>2. Discussions were meaningful where they explicitly apprised the protester of the area of its proposal that required revision.<p/>3. Protest that agency failed to perform proper cost/ technical tradeoff is denied where source selection official considered all relevant proposal evaluation material and cost in making his award determination and reasonably determined that the evaluated technical superiority of the highest technically- rated proposal warranted payment of the associated cost premium. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-284649/html/GAOREPORTS-B-284649.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-284649/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-284649.pdf GAO/B-284649 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-284649 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-284649; Matter of: Basic Contracting Services, Inc.;
