         DIGEST

         1. Agency reasonably determined that awardee's offered product was a commercial
         item, where the awardee proposed a modified version of its standard commercial
         product and the modifications were of a type customarily offered in the commercial
         marketplace and were also minor.

         2. In a negotiated procurement in which technical capability was evaluated on a
         pass/fail basis and the solicitation did not request detailed technical proposals, the
         agency reasonably determined that the awardee's offered product satisfied the
         solicitation requirements based upon the awardee's promises of compliance and
         examination of the awardee's bid sample.
         DECISION

         Premier Engineering & Manufacturing, Inc. protests the award of a contract to
         Global Ground Support, under request for proposals (RFP) No. F41608-98-R-20310,
         issued by the Department of the Air Force for commercial, truck mounted deicers.


We deny the protest.
