handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadwp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision REDACTED DECISION A protected decision was issued on the date below and was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release.. Matter of: Martin Marietta Defense Systems File: B-270117 Date: February 9, 1996 Paul Shnitzer, Esq., Joan H. Moosally, Esq., and Michele T. St. Mary, Esq., Crowell & Moring, for the protester. Samuel Paige, Esq., Paige & Paige, for Kearfott Guidance & Navigation Corporation, an intervenor. Dean R. Berman, Esq., Department of the Navy, Strategic Systems Program, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against determination that proposed significant reduction in historical level of effort (for production of part of guidance system for strategic nuclear deterrent missile system) was unrealistic is denied where proposed reduction was based on protester's undocumented and unsupported summation of a hypothetical build of three equivalent units, and the agency instead reasonably used as a baseline (against which to evaluate proposed labor-saving initiatives) the reported data on labor hours required to complete actual units over the course of the most recent contract year. DECISION Martin Marietta Defense Systems (MMDS) protests the award of a contract to Kearfott Guidance & Navigation Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00030-95-R-0047, issued by the Department of the Navy, Strategic Systems Program, for MK-6 Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) for the Trident II missile. MMDS challenges the evaluation of technical and cost/price proposals. We deny the protest. The IMU provides acceleration, attitude and stellar sensor data to the guidance system for the Trident II missile, which is the United States' sea-based strategic nuclear deterrent. In the past, the Navy's requirement for Trident II IMUs has been equally divided between MMDS and Kearfott, each producing new IMUs at a 104731
