             DIGEST

             Combination of system requirements in single acquisition is unobjectionable where
             procurement involves a foreign military sale and the foreign customer on whose
             behalf the procurement is being conducted has requested that all system
             components be acquired under a consolidated procurement.
             DECISION

             Electro Design Manufacturing, Inc. (EDM) protests the terms of request for
             proposals (RFP) No. DAAHO1-98-R-0403, issued by the U.S Army Aviation & Missile
             Command in connection with a foreign military sales (FMS) acquisition of TOW 2
             Launcher Systems and associated auxiliary equipment for Taiwan. EDM complains
             that the solicitation improperly combines the primary components of the TOW 2
             Launcher System.

             We deny the protest.

             On July 31, 1998, the Army issued RFP No. DAAH01-98-R-0403 seeking proposals for
             specified quantities of the components which comprise the TOW 2 Launcher
             Systems which are to be provided to Taiwan under the FMS program. The
             Launcher Systems are comprised of two primary components: the launcher and the
             night vision sight equipment.1







             1Other auxiliary equipment within the Launcher Systems includes a vehicle power
             conditioner modification kit, a post amplifier test set, a boresight collimator test set,
             and a battery charger.
