handle is hein.gao/gaobadben0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General 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: Tamper Proof Container Systems Corporation File: B-402191 Date: January 27, 2010 John P. Connelly, Esq., and Christopher T. Hynes, Esq., Hinckley, Allen & Snyder LLP, for the protester. Marion T. Cordova, Esq., Department of Homeland Security, for the agency. Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly declined to award protester a contract under broad agency announcement for exploratory research in nuclear detection technology is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was conducted in accordance with the stated evaluation criteria and the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's proposal was unacceptable under all the non-cost evaluation criteria. DECISION Tamper Proof Container Systems Corporation (TPCS), of Belmont, Massachusetts, protests the decision by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), not to award it a contract under Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) No. BAA 09-101 for exploratory research in nuclear detection technology. TPCS argues that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was improper. We deny the protest. DNDO is the office responsible for all DHS nuclear detection research, development, testing, evaluation, acquisition, and operational support; it develops the global nuclear detection architecture, conducts research and development, and acquires and supports the deployment of the domestic nuclear detection system. DNDO's Transformational and Applied Research Directorate conducts, supports, and coordinates a transformational program of research and development (R&D) to dramatically improve national capabilities to detect and report attempts to import or transport a nuclear device, special nuclear material, or radiological materials
