Regarding "Editorial: GSA's Alliant lessons,": The simplest way for contracting activities to avoid protests is to use the "lowest price technically acceptable" source selection process. It's simple, straight-forward, and does not allow for trade-offs and other nuanced evaluation techniques. It is perfect for the blunt instrument that is government contracting.
