In negotiated procurement under which the contractor will acquire pharmaceuticals for Department of Defense (DoD) using DoD funds, and where solicitation requests offerors to propose discount rates and dispensing fees for pharmaceuticals in addition to their fixed prices, and provides for evaluation of government*s projected future costs for pharmaceuticals (*Total Expected Government Cost* (TEGC)) as a technical factor, agency reasonably assessed likelihood that offerors could provide pharmaceuticals at their proposed discount rates and dispensing fees; cost realism analysis of offerors* TEGCs was not required, where solicitation did not require such an analysis. 2. Source selection authority (SSA) performed reasonable cost/technical tradeoff in determining the awardee*s proposal for supporting pharmaceutical program represented best value, where the SSA*s judgment, based upon the results of a reasonable, well-documented technical evaluation, is set forth in a detailed decision document that demonstrates the SSA*s understanding of the evaluated strengths and weaknesses of the respective proposals, and that shows a reasonable weighing of the offerors* respective technical and price advantages consistent with the solicitation*s evaluation criteria. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-292981/html/GAOREPORTS-B-292981.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-292981/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-292981.pdf GAO/B-292981 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-292981 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-292981; ACS State Healthcare, LLC; PharmaCare Government Services, Inc.; PGBA, LLC; Humana Military Healthcare Services, Inc., B-292981; B-292981.2; B-292981.3; B-292981.4; B-292981.5; B-292981.6; B-292981.7; B-292981.8; B-292981.9 B-292981.10, January 9, 2004;
