Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against exclusion of protester's proposal from competitive range (leaving only one proposal in the range) in procurement for airborne radar is denied where agency reasonably determined that (1) protester's proposal failed to satisfy solicitation requirement to substantiate compliance with specifications and/or took exception to required levels of performance, and (2) some of the deficiencies resulted from fundamental limitations on performance of protester's proposed radar system, or otherwise would require a major rewrite to correct. DECISION General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA) protests the exclusion of its proposal from the competitive range under request for proposals (RFP) No. W15P7T-07-R-P406, issued by the U.S. Army Communication-Electronics Command (CECOM), for production of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)/Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) system. GA primarily asserts that the determination to exclude its proposal from the competitive range failed to reasonably account for the performance of its proposed SAR/GMTI system in the flight test conducted as part of the evaluation. We deny the protest.
