handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaoec0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity* Reliability 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: DRS Systems, Inc. File: B-289928.3; B-289928.7 Date: September 18, 2002 W. Jay DeVecchio, Esq., Kathleen E. Karelis, Esq., Jeffrey C. Walker, Esq., Christine S. Trafford, Esq., Duncan N. Stevens, Esq., and Alexa Zevitas, Esq., Miller & Chevalier, for the protester. Mark D. Colley, Esq., Michael W. Clancy, Esq., Maria Whitehorn Votsch, Esq., Stuart W. Turner, Esq., David S. Black, Esq., Kristin E. Ittig, Esq., and Dorothy C. Slovak, Esq., Holland & Knight, for Raytheon Company, an intervenor. Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., Christine L. Kachan, Esq., Capt. Gary P. Bilski, Susan M. Lewandowski, Esq., and William Reed, Esq., Army Materiel Command, 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 reasonably considered in the evaluation the extent to which the awardee's proposed thermal sight system (for light armored vehicle) exceeded the stated required and desired range performance by furnishing better resolution and discernment of finer details; where a solicitation contains evaluation criteria that allow for qualitative or graduated assessments of proposals, rather than pass/fail evaluations, it is proper to give a proposal more credit for superiority under one of those evaluation criteria. DECISION DRS Systems, Inc. protests the Army Materiel Command's (AMC) award of a contract to the Raytheon Company, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAE07-01-R-M005, for development and production of an Improved Thermal Sight System (ITSS) for a United States Marine Corps light armored vehicle (LAV), the LAV-25. DRS asserts that the evaluation failed to adequately account for the superiority of its proposed system and was otherwise unreasonable. We deny the protest.
