DIGEST

1. Protests that the agency failed to properly evaluate technical proposals are denied
where the record shows the agency reasonably evaluated proposals in accordance with
the terms of the solicitation.

2. Protest that agency should have found awardee's proposal technically unacceptable
is denied where, although the agency effectively waived a solicitation requirement, the
protester does not demonstrate that it was prejudiced by the waiver.
DECISION

AAR Integrated Technologies, of Huntsville, Alabama, and VT Miltope, of Hope Hull,
Alabama, protest the award of a contract to Leonardo DRS, of Arlington, Virginia, under
request for proposals (RFP) No. W31 P4Q-1 8-R-0093, issued by the Department of the
Army, Army Materiel Command, for multi-purpose maintenance support devices. AAR
and Miltope contend that the agency failed to test their samples in accordance with the
solicitation. The protesters also challenge the agency's evaluation of the offerors'
technical proposals.


We deny the protests.
