handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaelv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Learjet, Inc. File: B-274385; B-274385.2; B-274385.3 Date: December 6, 1996 Lars E. Anderson, Esq., and J. Scott Hommer III, Esq., Venable, Baetjer and Howard, LLP, for the protester. L. Graeme Bell III, Esq., Crowell & Moring, LLP, for Tracor Flight Systems, Inc., the intervenor. Major Jeffrey W. Watson, Michael J. Mullin, Esq., John Laricca, Esq., and Gregory H. Petkoff, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Robert C. Arsenoff, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest allegations based on a disagreement with the agency over the interpretation of solicitation requirements are untimely since they were not raised within 10 days after the protester was informed in writing during discussions of the agency's interpretation of the solicitation. 2. Agency properly considered technical data contained in protester's proposal which called into question the proposal's acceptability while not requesting similar data from awardee where the solicitation did not require the submission of such data. 3. Protester's mere disagreement with agency evaluation does not provide a basis for disturbing that evaluation. 4. Protest challenging a cost/technical tradeoff decision is denied where: (1) no tradeoff was required because: protester's proposal was technically unacceptable and could not form the basis for an award; and (2) the decision was reached in accordance with the solicitation's method of award provisions. DECISION BACKGROUND Learjet, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Tracor Flight Systems, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. F33657-95-R-0082, issued by the Department of the Air Force for C-21A replacement aircraft and related contractor logistics support 1100129
