          DIGEST

          Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal submitted in
          response to a solicitation for the upgrade of munitions trailers is denied where the
          record shows that the agency reasonably recognized that the protester's proposal
          lacked some detail in certain areas and rated it accordingly, and the protester's
          contentions that the awardee's proposal should have been rejected by the agency as
          unacceptable for this lack of detail represents the protester's misunderstanding of
          the solicitation's requirements.
          DECISION

          PDI Ground Support Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to DeVal
          Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. N68335-06-R-0063, issued by the
          Department of the Navy, for the upgrade of munitions trailers. PDI argues that the
          agency's evaluation and selection of DeVal's proposal for award were unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued as a total set-aside for small businesses, provided for the award of a
          fixed-price contract for a base period of 1 year with three option periods. The
          solicitation explained that the munitions trailers to be upgraded were designed with


          'The munitions trailers are used at Navy intermediate maintenance activities to
          transport munitions from the munitions magazine to flight line. RFP at 2.
