This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Input/Output Technology, Inc. File: B-280585; B-280585.2 Date: October 21, 1998 Richard D. Lieberman, Esq., and James S. DelSordo, Esq., Kinosky, Phillips & Lieberman, for the protester. William L. Walsh, Jr., Esq., J. Scott Hommer, Esq., and Wm. Craig Dubishar, Esq., Venable, Baetjer and Howard, for Honeywell, Inc., an intervenor. Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and Robert A. Russo, Esq., Army Materiel Command, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that price evaluation was improperly based on methodology set out in unnumbered solicitation pages and was inconsistent with approach agency allegedly conveyed orally to protester, is denied where evaluation was consistent with approach set forth in the solicitation, and record shows protester was on notice of agency's intended evaluation approach; although pages setting forth the approach were unnumbered and not marked with solicitation number and were, apparently for that reason, overlooked by protester, the pages were included in copy of solicitation downloaded from the Internet and printed by protester. DECISION Input/Output Technology, Inc. protests the award of a contract by the Army Materiel Command, Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), to Honeywell, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAB07-98-R-B258, for the repair and retrofit of AN/APN-209 Line Replaceable Units (LRU). Input/Output raises several challenges to the selection process, including the evaluation of price and technical proposals. We deny the protest. The solicitation provided for award of a 5-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to repair and retrofit two receiver/transmitter LRUs in the AN/APN-209 Radar Altimeter Set, which is used to measure altitude in fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. Award was to be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value)
