           Matter of: Vectronix, Inc.

           File:       B-407330

           Date:       December 19, 2012

           Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Thomas K. David, Esq., David, Brody & Dondershine,
           LLP, for the protester.
           Scott M. McCaleb, Esq., Jon W. Burd, Esq., and Tara L. Ward, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP,
           and Mark W. Reardon, Esq., The Boeing Company, for the intervenor.
           Capt. John Montgomery, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
           Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Protest is denied where agency informed offerors that final proposal revisions (FPR)
           would supersede any previously submitted revisions and serve as the final
           executable contract, and protester submitted FPR without incorporating changes
           proposed during discussions, resulting in a finding of technical unacceptability.
           DECISION

           Vectronix, Inc., of Ashburn, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Argon ST, of
           Orlando, Florida, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8629-12-R-2421, issued by
           the Department of the Air Force to develop a Line of Sight-Short (LOS-S) device.
           Vectronix contends that the agency improperly determined that the firm's proposal
           was unacceptable.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           The LOS-S is a targeting device that provides the capability to acquire a target and
           determine the target's location with greater accuracy and precision. Agency Report
           (AR) at 1. On February 10, 2012, the agency issued the RFP seeking offerors to
           provide a lightweight LOS-S device with a single integrated sensor to enhance
           targeting effectiveness and allow increased situational awareness. Id.
