           Matter of:  Westar Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc.

           File:       B-408285; B-408285.2

           Date:       August 9, 2013

           Daniel S. Koch, Esq., Alfred M. Wurglitz, Esq., and Rachel T. McGuckian, Esq.,
           Miles & Stockbridge PC, for the protester.
           Tina M. Pixler, Esq., and Melissa Lloyd, Esq., Department of the Army, for the
           agency.
           Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General
           Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest challenging agency's evaluation under experience factor is denied where
           the agency reasonably, and in a manner consistent with the terms of the solicitation,
           gave the protester less credit for its experience with helicopter program
           requirements that, in the agency's view, were not the same as the solicitation's
           helicopter program requirements.

           2. Protest of evaluation is denied where agency reasonably determined that
           protester's quotation lacked sufficient detail regarding its functional approach.
           DECISION

           Westar Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc., of Huntsville, Alabama, protests the
           issuance of a task order to Aviation & Missile Solutions, LLC (AMS), also of
           Huntsville, under task order request for quotations (TORFQ) No. 2013T-05, issued
           by the Department of the Army, Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM),
           under its Expedited Professional and Engineering Support Services (EXPRESS)
           Program, for technical lifecycle support services for Apache attack helicopter foreign
           military sales (FMS) operations of the International Apache Office. The protester
           challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals and the resulting best value
           selection decision.


We deny the protest.
