DIGEST
1. Protest that offerors should have been required to propose to the same
assumption with respect to the amount of likely simultaneous test conduct at two
radar target test sites is untimely because it challenges an alleged impropriety in the
solicitation that should have been protested before the initial closing time for
submission of proposals.
2. Protest that agency unreasonably concluded that awardee proposed sufficient
staffing to perform required radar target testing is denied where awardee
demonstrated a sound understanding of the technical requirements and proposed
innovative approaches to reducing manning, including using (1) [DELETED]
techniques and [DELETED] analysis (to increase efficiency of operations by
reducing [DELETED]), (2) a new computer system (to permit consolidation of staff
positions), and (3) extensive cross-utilization of personnel.
DECISION
