           Matter of:  Celtech Corporation

           File:       B-407256.2

           Date:       April 11,2013

           Colin Wicker, Esq., Dorsey & Whitney LLP, for the protester.
           Karla J. Letsche, Esq., Patricia H. Wittie, Esq., and Daniel J. Strouse, Esq., Wittie,
           Letsche & Waldo, LLP, and Richard J. Leidl, Esq., for Atec, Inc., an intervenor.
           Christopher M. McNulty, Esq., and Charles R. Epperson, Esq., Department of the
           Air Force, for the agency.
           Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Protest that agency's evaluation of awardee's proposal for repair of aircraft engine
           test stands was unreasonable is denied where agency reasonably concluded that
           awardee's detailed proposal acceptably addressed each sample task, and the
           potential need of the awardee for reverse engineering was not significantly greater
           than that of the protester.
           DECISION

           Celtech Corporation, of Carlsbad, New Mexico, protests the Department of the Air
           Force's award of a contract to Atec, Inc., of Stafford, Texas, under request for
           proposals (RFP) No. FA8519-11 -R-21050, a competitive small business set-aside
           for repair support of engine test stands. Celtech asserts that the agency's technical
           and price/cost evaluations of Atec's proposal were unreasonable.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           The RFP sought proposals to provide worldwide field and depot level repair support,
           phone-based technical support, and commissioning support of relocated engine test
           stands (ETS) in the T-20 (T-20,T-20A, T-20B, T-20C) and T-21 (T-21, T-21A,
           T-21 D) series. ETSs are used for organizational level testing of uninstalled aircraft
