This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Cincom Systems, Inc. File: B-275055; B-275055.2 Date: January 21, 1997 Carl J. Peckinpaugh, Esq., and Eric J. Marcotte, Esq., Winston & Strawn, for the protester. Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., and Shlomo D.

Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly conducted a cost realism analysis under solicitation providing for fixed-price contract is denied where solicitation provided for price realism analysis and cost of implementation analysis as part of the best value determination. Agency reasonably added costs of additional software necessary to utilize offeror's proposal based on agency's evaluation of information in offeror's proposal. 2. In making its award determination, agency reasonably concluded that awardee's proposal, though technically equivalent to protester's proposal, provided more benefits and was less expensive than the protesters under appropriate cost of implementation analysis. DECISION Cincom Systems, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Western Data Systems (WDS) under request for proposals (RFP) No. M67004-96-R-0006, issued by the U.S. Marine Corps for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software for use in reparables 442131
