          Decision

          File:        B-295375

          DIGEST

          Protest that agency unreasonably assigned protester a neutral past performance
          rating of unknown under evaluation subfactor relating to on-time delivery because
          the agency failed to consider protester's delivery record between the closing date for
          receipt of proposals and the time of award is denied since, while the solicitation
          reserved to the government the right to consider an offeror's past performance
          information after the proposal closing date through the time of award, there was no
          requirement that the agency consider that information.
          DECISION

          FR Countermeasures, Inc. (FRC) protests the awards to Esterline Armtec
          Countermeasures Co. (Armtec) and Kilgore Flares Co., Inc. under request for
          proposals (RFP) W52PIJ-04-R-0078, issued by the Department of the Army, for M206
          aircraft countermeasure flares and MJU7 infrared countermeasure flares. In
          challenging the awards, the protester argues that the agency improperly evaluated
          proposals.

          We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part.

          The agency issued the solicitation on June 17, 2004 to procure 1,084,000 M206
          aircraft countermeasure flares and 557,760 MJU7 infrared countermeasure flares.
