Where solicitation contemplated award of fixed-price contract, price realism analysis was reasonable where agency compared proposed prices to government estimate and other proposed prices, and ensured that prices reflected specified labor categories and hours specified by RFP.<p/> 2. Protest that awardee's proposal unreasonably received evaluation credit for exceeding solicitation requirements is denied; where solicitation provides for award on best value basis, agency reasonably may assess as a proposal advantage degree to which proposal exceeds minimum solicitation requirements.<p/> 3. Protest that awardee received improper competitive advantage due to status as incumbent contractor is denied; agency is not required to discount competitive advantage gained by virtue of performance as incumbent contractor. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-299981/html/GAOREPORTS-B-299981.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-299981/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-299981.pdf GAO/B-299981 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-299981 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-299981; B-299981; B-299981.3, Navarro Research and Engineering, Inc., September 28, 2007;
