handle is hein.gao/gaobacylg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I G A 0 Comptroller General ....Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: STIDD Systems, Inc. File: B-292075; B-292075.2 Date: June 17, 2003 Marcus B. Slater, Jr., Esq., and Jennifer J. Zeien, Esq., Slater & Zeien, LLP, for the protester. Robert E. Lieblich, Esq., Katherine A. Andrias, Esq., and William A. Longwell, Esq., Naval Sea Systems Command, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging awards under solicitation for lithium-ion batteries for mini-submarines (Advanced SEAL Delivery System) is denied where: (1) based on information in proposal, agency reasonably assessed protester's proposal as weak or deficient based on noncompliance of its proposed system with solicitation requirements; and (2) the awardees, unlike the protester, possessed a full range of research, development, test and production capabilities, such that they could perform the necessary development. DECISION STIDD Systems, Inc. protests the Naval Sea Systems Command's (NAVSEA) award of contracts to Yardney Technical Products and SAFT America, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00164-02-R-6914, for lithium-ion battery cells or modules for the Advanced SEAL Delivery System (ASDS). STIDD challenges the evaluation of technical proposals. We deny the protest. The solicitation contemplated a two-phase procurement, commencing with the award of two Phase I contracts for the procurement of battery samples and battery test data, to determine a source of lithium-ion batteries for the ASDS to replace the current silver-zinc batteries used on the ASDS. ASDS is a battery-powered mini-submarine--approximately 65 feet long and 8 feet in diameter, with a dry, pressurized interior--which can be used to transport Navy special operations forces
