Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against award of single contract for both infantry carrier vehicle (ICV) and mobile gun system (MGS) variants of new family of armored vehicles is denied where (1) awardee's proposal for ICV, accounting for approximately 89 percent of new vehicles in contemplated brigade, was reasonably evaluated as offering significant performance and supportability advantages which outweighed protester's schedule and price/cost advantages, and (2) although awardee's schedule for deploying MGS was very disadvantageous and evaluation did not fully reflect certain disadvantages with respect to ammunition storage in awardee's MGS, its proposal nevertheless offered other performance and supportability advantages, and selection of awardee's MGS would result in commonality between ICV and MGS, such that award for both variants was not unreasonable.
