Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. M atte r o f: R aythe o n C o m pa ny--------------------------------------------------------- File: B-417731; B-417731.2 Date: October 3, 2019 Robert M. Moore, Esq., and Richard 0. Wolf, Esq., Moore & Lee, LLP, for the protester. J. Scott Hommer III, Esq., Rebecca E. Pearson, Esq., Christopher G. Griesedieck, Esq., and Christina E. Wood, Esq., Venable LLP, for Science Applications International Corporation, the intervenor. D. Randall Kemplin, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's cost realism evaluation is denied where the agency reasonably adjusted cost items that the protester failed to adequately substantiate as required by the solicitation. 2. Protest asserting that agency's best-value tradeoff decision ignored significant weaknesses in the awardee's proposal is denied where the evaluation record contradicts the protester's assertion that the weaknesses in question were found to be significant. DECISION Raytheon Company, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, protests the award of a contract to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), located in Reston, Virginia, by the Department of the Navy under request for proposals (RFP) No. N001 6418RWP44, for the overhaul, repair, and material and technical support of subsystems of the MK-99 fire control system. The protester asserts that the agency unreasonably adjusted Raytheon's proposed costs for the RFP's cost-reimbursable line items, improperly failed to conduct discussions, and engaged in a flawed best-value tradeoff analysis that ignored significant weaknesses in SAIC's proposal. We deny the protest.
