         Matter of:   BCF Solutions, Inc.

         File:        B-413287

         Date:        September 27, 2016

         for the protester.
         John W. Chierichella, Esq., Keith R. Szeliga, Esq., and Katie A. Calogero, Esq.,

         DIGEST

         Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of awardee's technical proposal is
         sustained where the record shows that the awardee failed to comply with the
         solicitation's requirement that offerors provide detailed information to substantiate
         the acceptability of their proposed products.
         DECISION

         BCF Solutions, Inc., of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to N2
         Imaging Systems, LLC, of Irvine, California under request for proposals (RFP) No.
         N00164-16-R-JQ16, issued by the Department of the Navy for the development and
         production of a next-generation crew served day/night weapon sighting system.
         BCF maintains that the agency misevaluated proposals and unreasonably failed to
         award it a contract.

         We sustain the protest.

         BACKGROUND

         The RFP provided for the award, on a best-value basis, of up to two contracts for
         the development and eventual production of the sighting systems. Firms were
         advised that, if the agency did award two contracts, it would perform a down select
         between the two contractors after evaluation of prototypes later to be fabricated
