              Further reference is made to your telefax nasage dated
         July 24, 1973, and subsequent correapondence, including your
         letter of Soptwber 13, 1973, protastine against thu rojection
         of your proposal under Request for Technical Proposals Uo.
         N00173-73-,-OI8 (RFTP t-0018), issued by the Naval Resacarch
         Laboratory (NL), Washington, D.C.

              EDT?-0018 constituted the first step of a two-step fortmally
         advortised procurcent. AIA0 tochnical proposal subaitted in
         reaponae thereto was deterwined to be unacceptable, and the basis
         of your pr')teuv is that the detormintion, which precluded your
         firm from participating In step tuo, was arbitrarily wade.

              The 2ne .nt procurenout to for 20 antenna systems and data.
         Tocnical piopooals submitted by four firms ware independently
         evaluated by IRL'a Advanced Projects Office and ito Technical
         Branch, which concurred in the detorwimation that all proponals
         except that aibmitted by ARA were acceptable.

              ML advtioed A A of tho respects in which its proposal was
         found unacceptable and provided AA an opportunity to reviac the
         proposal. After diucussion with tRL, AM   subtted a revised
         proposal whu: was also considered unacceptable for two of the
         same reasons tich had led to the initial rejecition. NL tten
         issued the second step invitation for bids to the three techni-
         cally acceptable firms and has made an award thereunder on tho
         basis of urgent need, despite the pendency of your protest, under
         thei authority of ASPR 2-407.8(b) (3) (I).
