Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office D OCUMEN-T 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: Recon Optical, Inc. File: B-310436; B-310436.2 Date: December 27, 2007 David J. Taylor, Esq., and William J. Spriggs, Esq., Spriggs & Hollingsworth, and Bradford E. Biegon, Esq., and Katherine A. Allen, Esq., for the protester. Richard H. Streeter, Esq., and Scott E. Pickens, Esq., Barnes & Thornburg LLP, for Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS, an intervenor. Daniel Pantzer, Esq., and Frank DiNicola, 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 Agency's decision not to select protester's proposal for award is unobjectionable, where the proposal was reasonably assessed the lowest possible ratings (red or high risk) under the three most important evaluation factors and was higher in price than the other proposals, which were technically superior. DECISION Recon Optical, Inc. (ROI) protests the award of a contract to Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS by the Department of the Army under request for proposals (RFP) No. W15QKN-06-R-1409, for common remotely operated weapon stations (CROWS). ROI challenges the evaluation of its and Kongsberg's proposals under each of the evaluation factors. We deny the protest.
