Matter of: Polar Power, Inc.

File:        B-274846.2; B-274846.3

Date:        January 14, 1997

Brian M. Regan, Esq., and Richard B. Oliver, Esq., McKenna & Cuneo, for the
protester.
Brian E. Toland, Esq., and Vera Meza, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest that contracting agency unreasonably evaluated protester's technical
proposal is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and
in accordance with the solicitation's stated evaluation criteria; protester's proposal
was downgraded principally due to its failure to substantiate its claims, as required,
and its disagreement with the agency's judgment as to the impact that this lack of
substantiation had on various aspects of its proposal does not render that judgment
unreasonable.
DECISION

Polar Power, Inc. protests the award of contracts to Goodman Ball, Inc., Dynamic
Corporation of America, Fermont Division, and T&J Manufacturing, Inc. under
request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAKO1-95-R-0075, issued by the Department of
the Army for the development of a 3-kilowatt (kw) tactical quiet generator. Polar
Power principally argues that the Army unreasonably evaluated its proposal.

We deny the protests.

BACKGROUND

The solicitation contemplated the award of contracts to two or more offerors for an
engineering and manufacturing effort leading to the procurement of 3-kw, 60 Herz
(Hz) tactical quiet generator sets, with an option to develop and produce 3-kw,
400 Hz generator sets. Cost reimbursement contracts would be awarded for phase I
(engineering and manufacturing development), with an option for phase IIA
