Smith, Pachter, McWhorter & D'Ambrosio, for the protester.
Craig D. Haughtelin, Esq., Department of Navy, for the agency.

DIGEST

1. Where solicitation required offerors to submit resumes showing that key
personnel met specified educational and experience qualifications, agency
reasonably determined that resumes lacking sufficient information to establish
qualifications were unsatisfactory. Protester cannot cure insufficiencies by
furnishing clarifying or missing information as part of its protest submissions.

2. Where award is made on the basis of initial proposals and, in accordance with
solicitation provisions, protester's unsatisfactory key personnel render its proposal
unacceptable, the protester is not an interested party to challenge other aspects of
the agency's evaluation.
DECISION

Systems Resources Corporation (SRC) protests the award of a contract to EER
Systems Corporation under request for proposals (RFP) No. N68936-95-R-0001, a
small disadvantaged business set-aside issued by the Department of the Navy for
weapons and software system support for certain aircraft systems. SRC protests
the agency's evaluation of its management/technical and cost proposals, the
evaluation of EER's proposal as exceptional, and the cost/technical tradeoff.

We deny the protest.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division is the weapons system support
activity (WSSA) and system software support activity for all aircraft assigned to it.
The solicitation contemplated the award of a cost-plus-award-fee, indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity, level-of-effort contract to provide system engineering
services, test/simulation facility support, software design and development, WSSA
program office technical support, and flight test support for each of the assigned
operational aircraft. These services include resolving software problems,
