handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaedt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Orbit Advanced Technologies, Inc. File: B-271293 Date: May 24, 1996 John W. Fowler, Jr., Esq., Blank, Rome, Comisky & McCauley, for the protester. Maj. Jeffrey W. Watson and Marian E. Sullivan, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST The contracting agency reasonably excluded the protester's proposal from the competitive range where the number and magnitude of deficiencies and weaknesses evaluated in the protester's unacceptable proposal would necessitate a major proposal revision for the proposal to be made acceptable. DECISION Orbit Advanced Technologies, Inc. protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. F33657-95-R-0049, issued by the Department of the Air Force for a radome verification system. The protest is denied. The RFP, issued as a total small business set-aside, provided for the award of a fixed-price contract for the construction of a radome verification system at Warner- Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The radome in question is a bulbous-shaped housing that covers the radar on the MC-130H Combat Talon II aircraft. Verification testing is performed to ensure that the housing surface has no blemishes that would degrade the effectiveness of the radar signal. The contractor is to provide on a turnkey basis the complete facility necessary to perform the radome verification testing. This includes construction of an anechoic chamber,1 a parent enclosure, and provision of all necessary equipment and software to perform the testing. Detailed specifications for the facility and equipment were provided in the RFP. 1An anechoic chamber is designed to be free of echo and reverberation. 342523
