Matter of: General Physics Federal Systems, Inc.

File:        B-275934

Date:        April 21, 1997

William M. Weisberg, Esq., William T. Welch, Esq., and Monica C. Gray, Esq.,
Barton, Mountain & Tolle, for the protester.
Paul F. Khoury, Esq., and David A. Vogel, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for EG&G
Washington Analytical Services, Inc., an intervenor.
James I. Menapace, Esq., and E.J. Hong, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
agency.
Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protester's contention that agency question and answer session constituted
inadequate discussions with the protester--even though agency attempted to specify
in solicitation that question and answer session following oral presentation would
not constitute discussions, and specify that material discussed in question and
answer session would be deemed unrelated to an offeror's proposal--need not be
reached by our Office where the record shows that the protester cannot
demonstrate a reasonable possibility that it was prejudiced by the agency's actions.

2. Contention that agency unreasonably evaluated protester's proposal under the
technical evaluation factor is denied where the record shows that the agency
evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with stated evaluation criteria.
DECISION

General Physics Federal Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to EG&G
Washington Analytical Services, Inc. pursuant to request for proposals (RFP)
No. N00024-96-R-6430, issued by the Department of the Navy to procure technical
and engineering support services for three Navy programs--the New Attack
Submarine Program, the Submarine Electronics Systems Program, and the
AN/BSY-2 Program. General Physics argues that the Navy improperly held
inadequate discussions with it, and that the agency's evaluation of General Physics's
proposal was unreasonable.


We deny the protest.
