          Decision

          Matter of:  Continental RPVs

          File:       B-292768.2; B-292768.3

          Date:       December  11, 2003

          Richard B. Oliver, Esq., and Gregory M. Murphy, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge, for
          the protester.
          Capt. Tami L. Dillahunt and Mary M. Townsend, Esq., Army Materiel Command, for
          the agency.
          Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Protest that agency unreasonably evaluated the offerors' technical proposals
          under a solicitation for a remotely piloted vehicle target (RPVT) system and services
          is denied where the record shows that the agency's evaluation of proposals was
          reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria, and the protester's
          contentions represent only its disagreement with the agency's evaluation.

          2. Protest that contracting agency improperly relaxed solicitation's technical
          requirement that offerors be able to perform eight RPVT operations concurrently by
          allowing the awardee to propose to support only seven concurrent RPVT operations
          is denied where the agency reasonably determined that the awardee's proposal met
          the solicitation requirement.

          3. Agency's evaluation of the offerors' past performance, and the source selection
          decision based upon that evaluation, were not reasonable where the agency
          evaluated the protester and awardee as each being of low risk under the
          performance evaluation criterion without the record containing any basis upon
          which the agency could reasonably have determined that the awardee's past
          performance was, in accordance with the terms of the solicitation, the same or
          similar to the solicitation requirements for which the protester was the incumbent
          contractor.
