File: B-275962.2 Date: May 30, 1997 Robert G. Fryling, Esq., and Edward J. Hoffman, Esq., Blank Rome Comisky & McCauley, for the protester. Karl Dix, Jr., Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP, for Advanced Aerospace Materials Corporation, an intervenor. Marc Shepler, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Robert C. Arsenoff, Esq., Glenn Wolcott, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the evaluation of proposals is denied where evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation. DECISION United Terex, Inc. (UTI) protests the award of a contract to Advanced Aerospace Materials Corporation (AAMC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0740-96-R- 1702, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for aircraft towbars fabricated from tubing. UTI alleges that the proposals were misevaluated. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on July 29, 1996, for 375 towbars identified as National Stock Number (NSN) 1730-01-101-9061 in Federal Supply Class (FSC) 1730. It was amended once. As amended, the RFP notified offerors that DLA was seeking delivery within 350 days but would evaluate offers of different delivery schedules in accordance with an FSC-specific Delivery Evaluation Factor (DEF). Offerors were advised that the offered price would be adjusted by a formula using the DEF so that shorter-than-required delivery schedules would result in an evaluated price which was lower than the offered price while longer-than-required schedules would result in an evaluated price higher than the offered price. Proposed phased deliveries were to be evaluated using a weighted average.
