This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: NavCom Defense Electronics, Inc. File: B-276163 Date: May 19, 1997 Richard B. Oliver, Esq., McKenna & Cuneo, L.L.P., for the protester. Scott T. Spear, Esq., Gorham & Gorham, for Integrity Air Services, Inc., an interveno r. Clarence D. Long, III, Esq., and Capt. Sheila Isbell, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Linda S. Lebowitz, Esq. and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's evaluation of the offerors' performance, and the source selection decision based upon that evaluation, was not reasonable where the agency evaluated the protester and the awardee as each being of low performance risk under the performance evaluation criterion without the record containing any basis upon which the agency could reasonably have determined that the awardee's demonstrated performance was, in accordance with the terms of the solicitation, the same as or similar to the solicitation requirements for which the protester was the incumbent contractor. DECISION NavCom Defense Electronics, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Integrity Air Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. F09603-95-R-81729, issued by the Department of the Air Force for the repair of multiple line items of the AN/ARN-118 TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) system. NavCom challenges the agency's assignment of a low performance risk rating to Integrity which served as the basis for the agency's decision to award to Integrity at a lower price. We sustain the protest. The TACAN system is a navigational system which provides pilots and flight control systems with navigational data, including bearing, range distance, velocity, course deviation, and audio identification information from a selected ground-based or airborne TACAN station. The TACAN system consists of the following five major components: (1) a radio receiver/transmitter; (2) a radio receiver/transmitter
