DIGEST
1. Protest that agency misevaluated both the protester's and the awardee's proposals
under the technical and past performance factors is denied where the contemporaneous
record shows that the agency's evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the
solicitation.
2. Protest that agency made an unreasonable cost realism assessment of the
awardee's proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency based its realism
analysis on each offeror's unique approach and made a reasonable cost realism
assessment.
DECISION
EFW, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, protests the award of a contract to Rockwell Collins,
Inc., doing business as Collins Aerospace, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, under request for
proposals (RFP) No. N00421-18-R-0091, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval
Air Warfare Center, for binocular helmet-mounted display systems for use by helicopter
pilots (often referred to as the enhanced visual acuity system, or EVA). EFW argues
that the Navy misevaluated the proposals and made an unreasonable source selection
decision.
