          DIGEST

          1. Protest alleging that firm that developed technical data package (TDP) for item to
          be procured has an unfair informational advantage over other competitors is denied
          where record establishes that TDP contained sufficient information to permit
          prospective offerors to formulate proposals.

          2. A competitive advantage that derives from an offeror's previous performance
          under a government contract is not an unfair competitive advantage that agency is
          required to neutralize.
          DECISION

          Lakota Technical Solutions, Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP)
          No. N00024-06-R-5112, issued by the Naval Sea System Command for Signal Data
          Processor (SDP) assemblies. Lakota objects to the unwillingness of the agency to
          warrant the quality and completeness of certain items in the RFP's technical data
          package (TDP).

          We deny the protest.
