This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Argon ST, Inc. File: B-402908; B-402908.2 Date: August 11, 2010 Marcia G. Madsen, Esq., David F. Dowd, Esq., and Polly A. Myers, Esq., Mayer Brown, LLP, for the protester. John W. Chierichella, Esq., Anne B. Perry, Esq., and Townsend L. Bourne, Esq., Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, for ICx Tactical Platforms Corporation, the intervenor. Marvin D. Rampey, Esq., Kevin E. Bolin, Esq., and Angela J. Cosentino, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of General Counsel, GAO, participated in the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably awarded a contract on a sole-source basis for urgently needed surveillance systems, where the agency determined that only the awardee, the original equipment manufacturer of the systems, and not the protester, which has never manufactured and delivered such systems, could timely meet the agency's needs, and the sole-source did not result from a lack of advance procurement planning. DECISION Argon ST, Inc. of Fairfax, Virginia protests the award of a contract on a sole-source basis to ICx Tactical Platforms Corporation of Alpharetta, Georgia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00164-10-R-JTO8, issued by the Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Department of the Navy, for Ground Based Operational Surveillance Systems (G-BOSS) Lite, to be used by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and Joint Operating Forces in Operation Enduring Freedom. We deny the protest.
