1. The protester--a section 8(a) qualified business--had no basis to expect that the agency would award it a contract as the only 8(a) offeror submitting a technically acceptable proposal, where the solicitation was issued on an unrestricted basis and stated that award would be made to the offerors submitting the proposals determined to be most advantageous to the agency considering the listed technical factors and cost.<p/> 2. The agency's evaluation of the protester's response to a sample task order did not have to consider protester's performance on another contract not identified in the protester's proposal. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-296902/html/GAOREPORTS-B-296902.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-296902/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-296902.pdf GAO/B-296902 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-296902 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-296902; B-296902; B-296902.2, Delphinus Engineering, Inc., September 20, 2005; Title 10 Section 2305(a)(2)(A) Title 10 Section 2305(a)(3)(A) Title 10 Section 2305(b)(1) 10 U.S.C. 2305(a)(2)(A) 10 U.S.C. 2305(a)(3)(A) 10 U.S.C. 2305(b)(1)
