Matter of:  Raytheon Company

File:       B-416578; B-416578.2

Date:       October 22, 2018

Mark D. Colley, Esq., and Nathaniel E. Castellano, Esq., Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer
LLP; Rebecca B. Ransom, Esq., Raytheon Company, for the protester.
J. Alex Ward, Esq., James A. Tucker, Esq., and R. Locke Bell, Esq., Morrison &
Foerster LLP; and Kenneth M. Reiss, Esq., Northrop Grumman Corporation, for
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, the intervenor.
Ann M. Stewart, Esq., Cristina Costa de Almeida, Esq., and Patrick Coil, Esq.,
Department of the Navy, for the agency.
Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency unreasonably evaluated protester's proposal is denied,
where the record does not support the protester's contentions.

2. Protest that the agency unreasonably faulted protester's proposal for exceeding an
anticipated weight limit lacks prejudice, where the agency's error is unlikely to affect the
award decision in light of other issues identified in protester's proposal.
DECISION

Raytheon Company, of El Segundo, California, protests the decision by the Department
of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command, to not award a contract to Raytheon under
broad agency announcement (BAA) No. N0001 9-18-R-0008 for the low band,1 Next
Generation Jammer (NGJ). Raytheon contends that the Navy exaggerated the risks
posed by its proposed design, applied unstated evaluation criteria, and misread its
proposal.


1 A BAA is a general announcement of an agency's research interest including criteria
for selecting proposals and soliciting the participation of all offerors capable of satisfying
the government's needs. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) § 2.101.
