             Date:        July 31, 1997

             John Lukjanowicz, Esq., Oles, Morrison & Rinker, for the protester.
             Lucia E. Casale, Esq., Klimek, Kolodney & Casale, for Zodiak of North America, Inc.,
             an intervenor.
             Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and Tony K Vollers, Esq., Department of the Army, for
             the agency.

             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             1. Agency reasonably considered protester's failure to provide material
             performance data as a basis for rating protester's proposal acceptable rather than
             ''exceptional where solicitation required submission of performance data.

             2. Agency's assessment of risk associated with protester's proposal was reasonably
             based, in part, on the fact that protester proposed to modify a 10-person boat and
             had not previously built such a 15-person boat.

             3. Agency reasonably considered the fact that protester's spare and repair parts
             were not currently in military inventories where solicitation stated that components
             that were interchangeable with existing military components would constitute an
             enhanced feature.
