           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the evaluation of the awardee's past performance as providing
           substantial confidence is sustained where the record does not support the
           reasonableness of this rating.
           DECISION

           Kollsman Inc., an Elbit Systems of America, LLC company, of McLean, Virginia,
           protests the award of a contract to L-3 Communications Corporation, of
           Londonderry, New Hampshire, by the Department of the Navy, Navy Surface
           Warfare Center, Crane, Indiana (NSWC Crane) under request for proposals (RFP)
           No. N00164-12-R-JQ03 for handheld laser markers. Kollsman challenges the
           evaluation of price and L-3's past performance.1

           We sustain the protest.


           1 Kollsman also asserted that the agency failed to properly investigate serious
           allegations of violations of the Procurement Integrity Act. In its report, the agency
           responded to this issue, yet Kollsman made no further mention of this issue in its
           comments filing. Consequently, we deem this protest issue abandoned. See
           Accumark, Inc., B-310814, Feb. 13, 2008, 2008 CPD T 68 at 2 n. 1.
