This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Kaman Dayron, Inc. File: B-292997 Date: January 15, 2004 Robert S. Ryland, Esq., and James S. Hostetler, Esq., Kirkland & Ellis, for the protester. James J. McCullough, Esq., and Steven A. Alerding, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for AMTEC Corporation, an intervenor. Maj. Tami L. Dillahunt, and Sandra Bierman, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is sustained where, under a solicitation that indicated that when rating proposals under the technical evaluation factor particular importance would be placed on the similarity of the items previously produced to the grenade fuze being procured, the record does not support the agency's ultimate determination that the awardee's experience producing part of a different fuze was nearly identical to the experience of the protester in producing the fuze being procured here such that both offerors were entitled to the same excellent rating. DECISION Kaman Dayron, Inc. protests the award of a contract to AMTEC Corporation by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAA-09-03-R-0002, for M549A1 40-millimeter (mm) grenade fuzes. Kaman Dayron, the incumbent contractor, challenges the technical evaluation primarily on the basis that the agency unreasonably considered Kaman Dayron's experience and that of AMTEC to be equal. We sustain the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract for 747,473 M549A1 grenade fuzes, with an evaluated 50 percent option for an additional 373,736 fuzes. The M549A1 fuze is a component of the 40-mm High Explosive Dual Purpose M430A1 cartridge (grenade) used in the MK-19 Grenade Machine Gun.
