This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Martin Marietta Corporation File: B-259823.4 Date: July 3, 1995 Thomas J. Madden, Esq., Jerome S. Gabig, Jr., Esq., and Charles R. Marvin, Jr., Esq., Venable, Baetjer, Howard & Civiletti, for the protester. Rand L. Allen, Esq., James J. Gildea, Esq., Phillip H. Harrington, Esq., David A.

DIGEST 1. Protest against agency determination that proposed sonar system is compliant with specification requirement for 360-degree coverage is denied where it appears from record that, although a matter of some uncertainty and considerable technical dispute, 360-degree coverage is at least theoretically possible and protester offers no conclusive evidence to the contrary. 2. Protest that agency improperly failed to disclose vital information concerning acceptability of glass reinforced plastic (fiberglass) sonar dome proposed by protester in prior stage of development process and proposed again in current stage is denied where record does not establish that agency possessed superior, vital knowledge concerning fundamental acceptability of fiberglass dome prior to receipt of proposals for current stage; agency did not view fiberglass dome as unacceptable until after receipt of proposals, protester was aware that fiberglass is an inferior material for sonar domes, and protester knew or should have known of need to maximize sonar effectiveness. DECISION Martin Marietta Corporation (MMC) protests the Naval Sea Systems Command's (NAVSEA) exercise of a competitive, down-select option under Westinghouse Electric Corporation (WEC) contract No. N00024-92-C-6223, for the demonstration and validation (D&V) phase for the United States/United Kingdom Joint Cooperative 104466
