handle is hein.gao/gaocrptakzc0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa __Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: INRAD, Inc. File: B-284021 Date: February 4, 2000 Warren Ruderman for the protester. Thomas C. Papson, Esq., and Richard P. Castiglia, Jr., Esq., McKenna & Cuneo, for Sanders, A Lockheed Martin Company, an intervenor. Deborah Muldoon, Esq., Department of the Air Force, 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 Agency's decision not to fund protester's proposal in response to Program Research and Development Anno unc ement (PRDA) fo r furthering development o f no nlinear optical crystals was unobjectionable where decision was consistent with terms of the PRDA and did not violate applicable statutes or regulations; rather, record shows decision was based principally on fact that, while PRDA called for an approach feasible for advanced development, as demonstrated by offeror's prior research or exploratory development, protester instead proposed a technique that had not been applied to its proposed crystal material. DECISION INRAD, Inc. protests the Department of the Air Force's rejection of its proposal submitted under Program Research and Development Announcement (PRDA) No. 99-2-MLK, for Advanced Development of Far-Infrared Conversion Materials. INRAD maintains that the Air Force improperly evaluated proposals and alleges bad faith on the part of contracting officials. We deny the protest. The PRDA, synopsized in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) on May 10, 1999, stated that the Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, was soliciting research and development proposals for the purpose of furthering development of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals for utilization in optical parametric oscillators, second harmonic generators, and other wavelength
