This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Raytheon Company File: B-291449 Date: January 7, 2003 William H. Butterfield, Esq., Lawrence M. Prosen, Esq., and Brian Cohen, Esq., Bell, Boyd & Lloyd, for the protester. Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Scott M. McCaleb, Esq., William J.

Donna M. Sikora Snyder, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In making source selection on procurement for development of advanced beyond- line-of-sight terminals, source selection authority (SSA) acted within scope of authority and reasonably in (1) lowering awardee's proposal's risk rating from high risk, assessed by lower-level evaluators because of concerns about its antenna design on two of seven proposed platforms, to low risk, based on SSA's determination that this did not represent significant weakness because of non-technical programmatic considerations and awardee's mitigation plan addressing this weakness, and (2) increasing a weakness, assessed by lower-level evaluators to protester's proposal associated with protester's proposed reuse of legacy code written using Ada computer language, to a significant weakness, because this weakness had systemic effect that could inhibit long-term benefits of entire system. DECISION Raytheon Company protests an award to The Boeing Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. F19628-01-R-0033, issued by the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, for the development of the Family of Advanced Beyond-line-of-sight Terminals (FAB-T) and related tasks. Raytheon protests the agency's technical evaluation and source selection decision.
