In procurement for fixed-unit-price contract, agency reasonably determined that awardee*s proposed prices were realistic where evaluation record reflects agency*s thorough consideration of awardee*s proposed technical approach that reasonably supported the agency*s conclusion that awardee*s approach would meet the solicitation requirements, and agency further examined the individual elements of awardee*s proposed prices, including data related to direct labor, labor overhead, and other direct and indirect costs. 2. Where record establishes that agency reasonably compared protester*s [deleted] approach, which necessitated a significantly higher price than the price proposed by awardee in connection with its technology-intensive approach, and excluded protester*s proposal from the competitive range on the basis that, in order to be eligible for award, protester would have to completely revise its proposed technical approach, errors or inaccuracies in the government estimate are immaterial and do not provide a basis for sustaining the protest. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-293005/html/GAOREPORTS-B-293005.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-293005/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-293005.pdf GAO/B-293005 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-293005 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-293005; Fiserv NCSI, Inc., B-293005, January 15, 2004;
