         John W. Starnes, Esq., for the protester.
         Capt. Tami L. Dillahunt and Mary M. Townsend, Esq., Army Materiel Command, for

         DIGEST

         Protest challenging contracting agency's evaluation of protester's proposal and
         exclusion of proposal from competitive range is denied where agency's evaluation
         and competitive range determination were reasonable and in accordance with the
         solicitation evaluation criteria.
         DECISION

         Wahkontah  Services, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive
         range, and the subsequent award of a contract to Griffon Aerospace, Inc., under
         request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAHO1-02-R-0158, issued by the Army Aviation and
         Missile Command, Department of the Army, for the acquisition of an aerial remotely
         piloted vehicle target (RPVT) system and services. Wahkontah contends that the
         evaluation of its proposal and the determination to exclude its proposal from the
         competitive range on the basis of technical noncompliance were unreasonable.

         We  deny the protest.

         Background

         RPVTs, essentially radio-controlled, sub-scale aerial targets, are a means by which
         the Army and other United States military services provide training to short range air
         defense units in countering airborne threats at a reasonable cost; specifically, RPVTs
         permit live fire engagements by forces equipped with various missile and gun
         weapons  systems. Statement of Work (SOW) § 1.1. While the Army has procured
         sub-scale aerial targets for many years, the requirements here were significantly
