This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Allied Signal, Inc., Electronic Systems File: B-275032; B-275032.2 Date: January 17, 1997 William A. Roberts III, Esq., Lee P. Curtis, Esq., Harvey G. Sherzer, Esq., Jerone C. Cecelic, Esq., Richard P. Castiglia Jr., Esq., Howrey & Simon, for the protester. Thomas C. Papson, Esq., Ian T.

John Van Schaik, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Solicitation for tactical intelligence terminals and modules is ambiguous where protester and awardee both have reasonable interpretations of a requirement that the proposed modules must be backward compatible with two existing intelligence terminals. DECISION Allied Signal, Inc., Electronic Systems protests the award of a contract to Hughes Aircraft Company under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAB07-96-R-S998, issued by the United States Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) for the Joint Tactical Terminal/Common Integrated Bro adc ast Service Modules (JTT/CIBS-M), which is to provide war fighters with tactical intelligence and targeting information. Allied argues that the Army waived a mandatory requirement of the solicitation for Hughes. We sustain the protest. BACKGROUND The military services use numerous types of terminals, or radios, to transmit and receive critical intelligence and targeting information for military operations. Some of the intelligence terminals fielded by the Department of Defense (DOD) include: Commanders' Tactical Terminal (CTT), Multi-Mission Advanced Tactical Terminal 356129
