DIGEST

Agency properly rejected as technically unacceptable a proposal for a special
warfare rigid inflatable boat where the proposed boat did not satisfy the material
minimum design requirements regarding the seating location and deck drainage.
DECISION

Team One USA, Inc. protests the rejection of its proposal under request for
proposals (RFP) No. USZA22-96-R-0003, issued by the United States Special
Operations Command, MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, for development and
production of the Naval Special Warfare Rigid Inflatable Boat and trailer.

We deny the protest.

The RFP, issued on October 26, 1995, contemplated multiple awards and stated that
the agency desired a modified nondevelopmental item based on existing rigid
inflatable boats. The boat is intended for use in rugged, ship-to-shore transport of
Special Operations Forces and their equipment in a low to medium threat combat
environment.1





1The boat is classified as LPD-17 ship class with a maximum overall length of
36 feet.
