          DIGEST

          General Accounting Office will not consider protest of an award of a subcontract as
          by the government where the item being procured is a component of the end item
          to be delivered under a supply contract and is being incorporated into the end item
          pursuant to a legitimate change order that is necessary to ensure that a compliant
          end item will be delivered.
          DECISION

          RGB Display Corporation protests the award of a subcontract to Diamond Visionics
          Company by Lockheed Martin Information Systems (LMIS), pursuant to a change
          order issued by the Department of the Navy under prime contract No. N61339-93-C-
          0004, for close combat tactical trainers (CCCT) for use by the Department of the
          Army.

          We dismiss the protest.

          battlefield that a tank commander would have by peering out the top hatch of the
          vehicle. In the technology being replaced by the subcontract at issue, this
          Commander's Popped Hatch employed a circle of 10 26-inch monitors, with every
          other monitor placed at a higher level and turned downward instead of toward the
          center of the circle. The images of the five downward-facing monitors each reflected
          off of a mirrored surface (the beamsplitter) at approximately a 45-degree angle
          toward the center of the circle. This had the effect of creating a (virtually) seamless
