In fixed-unit-price procurement, where record supports agency*s evaluation of awardee*s proposal as containing a *thorough, comprehensive plan* for performing the solicitation requirements, awardee*s low proposed prices to perform two contract line items making up only a small portion of the total contract requirements did not require the agency to downgrade awardee*s proposal with regard to understanding the scope of work. 2. In performing price realism analysis under fixed-unit-price procurement, agency has broad discretion regarding the nature and extent of the analysis it performs and, here, agency reasonably found awardee*s price realistic where the total proposed prices of protester and awardee were very similar. 3. In establishing the scope of contracts to be considered in the agency*s past performance evaluation, solicitation did not place a *premium* on prior performance of large government contracts at military facilities where the solicitation directed offerors to submit past performance information regarding *commercial and/or government contracts,* advised offerors that the agency would consider contracts that were not *of the magnitude* being competed, and stating that the agency*s past performance evaluation would be based on the agency*s subjective consideration of *all relevant facts and circumstances.* https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-289959-7/html/GAOREPORTS-B-289959-7.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-289959-7/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-289959-7.pdf GAO/B-289959.7 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-289959-7 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-289959.7; ViroMed Laboratories, Inc., B-289959.7, December 19, 2003;
