Sommer, and Sarah L. Andich, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest asserting that the agency failed to reasonably evaluate the protester's technical proposal is denied where the record shows the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. DECISION General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products, Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina, protests the award of a contract to American Ordnance LLC, of Middletown, Iowa, under Request for Proposals (RFP) No. W52P1J-1 I-R-0010, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the M58A4 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC). General Dynamics primarily challenges the Army's evaluation of its proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite- quantity (ID/IQ) contract for the production of the MICLIC, which is a trailer- mounted, rocket-propelled line charge that provides breaching capability for ground forces. Each MICLIC consists of 1,400 C-4 explosive pellets that are assembled on a 350-foot nylon rope/detonator cord. When discharged by a rocket, the MICLIC is capable of clearing a path 46-feet wide and 350-feet long. Agency Report (AR), Tab 25.1, Source Selection Plan, at 6.
