Protest that agency unreasonably found that awardee's prices were realistic under a fixed-price contract is denied where record shows agency based its determination on a comparison of all offerors' prices to one another and to the government estimate, and all prices received were within a narrow range.<p/> 2. Protest that agency should have rejected awardee's proposal for offering unbalanced prices is denied where awardee's price was low overall and, to extent that its prices for one element of contract were high in comparison to other offerors' prices and government estimate, record shows estimated quantity for that element was reasonably accurate; thus, based on the record, there is little risk that award will not result in lowest cost to government. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-310814/html/GAOREPORTS-B-310814.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-310814/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-310814.pdf GAO/B-310814 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-310814 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-310814; B-310814, Accumark, Inc., February 13, 2008;
