Decision



Matter of: Avondale Industries, Inc.

File:       B-271510

Date:       July 15, 1996

Theodore M. Bailey, Esq., for the protester.
Alan W. Mendelsohn, Esq., and Charles A. Johnson, Esq., Department of the Navy,
for the agency.
Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Agency conducted meaningful discussions regarding proposed noncompliance
with a safe working area requirement in the solicitation through discussion
questions which explicitly advised the protester of the agency's concern in this
respect.

2. Agency evaluation of the protester's proposal and subsequent decision not to
grant the protester a waiver of a safe working area requirement was
unobjectionable where the waiver determination was entirely a matter of agency
discretion and there were other offerors, including the awardee, that met the
requirement.
DECISION

Avondale Industries, Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's award of a contract
to Diversified Group, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62387-95-R-4007.
The protester alleges that the Navy failed to conduct meaningful discussions and
that its proposal was improperly evaluated.

We deny the protest.
