          DIGEST

          Protest is denied where solicitation required that offerors explain how their
          proposed designs would meet the solicitation requirements, and agency reasonably
          concluded that protester's proposal failed to meaningfully address the significant
          impacts flowing from its proposed design, including various failures to comply with
          the solicitation requirements that created potential performance risks and additional
          costs.
          DECISION

          Ultra Electronics Ocean Systems, Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's award
          of a contract to Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems and Sensors (LMMS2) pursuant
          to request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-07-R-6229 for the design and manufacture
          of low cost conformal array (LCCA) systems to be installed on U.S. Navy
          submarines. Ultra maintains that the agency made various errors in evaluating
          Ultra's technical and cost/price proposals.

          We deny the protest.


          'The LCCA is a passive planar array mounted on the submarine sail structure that
          assists in providing situational awareness and collision avoidance for improved
          tactical control in high-density environments.
