Washington, DC 20548                               The decision issued on the date below was subject to a
                                                   GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

         Decision


         Matter  of:  Systems Research and Applications Corporation

         File:        B-298107; B-298107.2

         Date:       June 26, 2006

         David Metzger, Esq., and Michelle Mintz Brown, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for the
         protester.
         Brian E. Toland, Esq., Robert A. Russo, Esq., Frank DiNicola, Esq., and Vera Meza,
         Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
         Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
         Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Under a solicitation that contemplated up to 10 awards under which the agency
         made  7 awards, agency's determination to not make an additional award to the
         protester, whose proposal was lower technically rated and higher priced than the
         comparable awardees' proposals, was a reasonable exercise of sound business
         judgment consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme.
         DECISION

         Systems Research and Applications Corporation (SRAC) protests the decision of the
         U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command  (CECOM)  not to award SRAC a
         contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. W15P7T-05-R-E401 for various life
         cycle services.

         We  deny the protest.

         The RFP  solicited proposals to provide a broad range of life cycle services designed
         to meet the integrated engineering, business operations, and logistics service needs
         of all Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance
         and Reconnaissance customers of CECOM's Life Cycle Management Command.
         The RFP  provided for award of up to ten (10) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
         (ID/IQ) contracts, each for a 5-year base period with one 5-year option period, to
         those offerors whose proposals provided the best value to the government.
         RFP  §§ A-2.5, A-2.6, A-2.8.
