Washington, DC 20548                                  The decision issued on the date below was subject to a
                                                      GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been

          Decision


          Matter of: Systems Research and Applications Corporation

          File:        B-298107; B-298107.2

          Date:        June 26, 2006

          David Metzger, Esq., and Michelle Mintz Brown, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for the
          protester.
          Brian E. Toland, Esq., Robert A. Russo, Esq., Frank DiNicola, Esq., and Vera Meza,
          Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
          Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Under a solicitation that contemplated up to 10 awards under which the agency
          made 7 awards, agency's determination to not make an additional award to the
          protester, whose proposal was lower technically rated and higher priced than the
          comparable awardees' proposals, was a reasonable exercise of sound business
          judgment consistent with the solicitation's evaluation scheme.
          DECISION

          Systems Research and Applications Corporation (SRAC) protests the decision of the
          U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) not to award SRAC a
          contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. W15P7T-05-R-E401 for various life
          cycle services.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP solicited proposals to provide a broad range of life cycle services designed
          to meet the integrated engineering, business operations, and logistics service needs
          of all Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance
          and Reconnaissance customers of CECOM's Life Cycle Management Command.
          The RFP provided for award of up to ten (10) indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
          (ID/IQ) contracts, each for a 5-year base period with one 5-year option period, to
          those offerors whose proposals provided the best value to the government.
          RFP §§ A-2.5, A-2.6, A-2.8.
