handle is hein.gao/gaobaczhr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I G A 0Comptroller General L MA Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability 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: EDO Corporation File: B-296861 Date: September 28, 2005 Jeffrey P. Bialos, Esq., Christer L. Mossberg, Esq., John M. Wingate, Esq., and Bradley E. Prendergast, Esq., Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan LLP, for the protester. Maj. Lawrence Anderson, Maj. Christina M. Slicker, and Bridget E. Lyons, Esq. Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Mark D. Colley, Esq., and Kara L. Daniels, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for Raytheon Company, an intervenor. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Cost realism evaluation of protester's proposal was unobjectionable where record shows that upward cost adjustments were based on evaluators' reasonable assessments that proposal significantly understated labor hours needed to perform. 2. Agency's identification of risk associated with protester's very low fixed production price is not relevant to award decision where selection authority did not cite the identified risk in making award decision. 3. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's proposal as high risk, despite protester's experience, due to proposal's failure to include sufficient support for low proposed labor hours. DECISION EDO Corporation's EDO MTech, Inc. (EDO) protests the award of a contract to Raytheon Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8626-04-R-2067, issued by the Department of the Air Force for development of the Smart Triple Ejector Rack (TER) bomb rack unit. EDO challenges the agency's cost realism evaluation of EDO's proposal and the resulting award to Raytheon. We deny the protest.
