Decision Matter of: Atlantic Research Marketing Systems, Inc. File: B-292743 Date: December 1, 2003 Richard Swan for the protester. Angela J. Cosentino, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where solicitation provided that failure to offer desired product improvements would not remove a proposal from consideration for contract award, it was inconsistent with the terms of the solicitation for the agency to remove the protester's proposal from consideration for award for allegedly failing to offer certain desired improvements. DECISION Atlantic Research Marketing Systems, Inc. (ARMS) protests the rejection of its proposal for four configurations of a rail interface system (RIS) under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00164-02-R-0014, issued by the Department of the Navy for miniature day/night sight development for the special operations peculiar modifications system. The Navy determined that each of ARMS's RIS configurations was unacceptable due to operational unsuitability. We sustain the protest. The special operations peculiar modifications (SOPMOD) system is designed and intended to provide special operations force (SOF) members, who operate in a wide range of extreme conditions, with the ability to reconfigure their weapons for various mission scenarios rapidly and reliably. The system's core capability is accommodated by a rail interface system, which attaches to the M4A1 carbine and provides attachment points for accessories such as sights and lasers. The goal of the miniature day/night sight (MDNS) development effort is to improve on current SOPMOD capabilities through miniaturization, ruggedization, combination, or other
