Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's decision not to select protester's proposal for award is denied, where the proposal was reasonably evaluated as having weaknesses that were within the stated evaluation criteria, and additional discussions were not required given that the weaknesses stemmed from proposal revisions made by the protester after the completion of discussions. DECISION Raytheon Company, of Waltham, Massachusetts, protests the award of contracts to Telephonics Corporation, of Farmingdale, New York, and ICx Technologies, Inc., of Alpharetta, Georgia, by the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, under request for proposals (RFP) No. HSBP1O1OR2914, for mobile surveillance capability equipment, as part of the agency's secure border initiative, known as SBINet. Raytheon argues that the agency misevaluated the firm's final proposals, failed to hold meaningful discussions, and made an unreasonable source selection decision. We deny the protest.
