This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of. AT&T Corporation, Advanced Technology Systems File: B-261154.4 Date: October 16, 1995 C. Stanley Dees, Esq., Daniel G. Jarcho, Esq., and Patrick K. O'Keefe, Esq., McKenna & Cuneo, for the protester. Paul Shnitzer, Esq., and David Z.

Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against source selection is denied where (1) agency reasonably determined that awardee had proposed a fundamentally less complex approach to deploying an underseas surveillance system which was more likely to successfully and timely deploy a survivable underwater segment than was the protester's, and (2) the record provides no basis for concluding that the awardee's contract cost was likely to be so substantially higher than the protester's as to offset the awardee's superiority under the substantially more important technical factors. DECISION AT&T Corporation, Advanced Technology Systems, protests the award of a contract to Loral Federal Systems under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00039-94-R-0020, issued by Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), for the demonstration/validation (DEM/VAL) phase of an underseas surveillance system. AT&T challenges the evaluation of cost and technical proposals.' We deny the protest. 'Inasmuch as portions of the record are classified, the following unclassified discussion is necessarily somewhat general with respect to several aspects of the procurement.
