           DIGEST

           Protest alleging that contracting agency improperly and disparately evaluated
           proposals is denied where the record reflects that the evaluation was reasonable
           and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria, and that differences in the
           evaluation were not the result of unequal treatment.
           DECISION

           Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Electronic Systems (Northrop Grumman),
           of Linthicum, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Raytheon Company, of
           El Segundo, California, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8730-1 1 -R-001 4,
           issued by the Department of the Air Force to procure a Dismount Detection Radar
           (DDR) system for the MQ-9 Block 5 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft. Northrop
           Grumman argues that the agency improperly and disparately evaluated the
           proposals.


We deny the protests.
