Agency was not required to conduct discussions with protester aimed at lowering its proposed price below the awardee's, even though award was ultimately based on lowest price, where agency determined that protester's price was reasonable and comparable to other offerors' prices.<p/>2. Allegation that evaluation of proposals was flawed is denied where, although the agency applied unequally weighted evaluation subfactors, in view of the minimal differences between the assumed equal weights and actual weights assigned, and the protester's high total price, there is virtually no possibility that the protester was prejudiced in the evaluation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-287477-2/html/GAOREPORTS-B-287477-2.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-287477-2/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-287477-2.pdf GAO/B-287477.2 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-287477-2 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-287477.2; SOS Interpreting, Ltd., B-287477.2, May 16, 2001;
