Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and Laurence M. Smail, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Adam Vodraska, Esq., and James A.

The prototype ACDS will be used for operational evaluation by the contracting agency to establish the requirements for a production model ACDS. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued February 11, 1998, as a total small business set-aside under the commercial item procedures of FAR part 12, contemplated the award of a fixed- price contract to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation represents the best value to the government, price, technical and past performance factors considered. RFP at 1, 10, 19. The technical factor was of paramount importance and price was more important than past performance. RFP at 19. According to the RFP, proposals would be evaluated under the technical factor to assess whether the proposed ACDS will likely meet the minimum government requirements. Id.
