J. Randolph MacPherson, Esq., Sullivan & Worcester LLP, for The GM Cope-LAU Joint Venture, an intervenor. Linda Oliver, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Jeanne W. Isrin, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that proposal was improperly downgraded based on results of equipment demonstration is denied where solicitation stated that demonstration was part of initial proposal and required offerors to show compliance with statement of work requirements at the demonstration, and protester failed to demonstrate that its equipment met two of the requirements at the demonstration. DECISION Imaging Systems Technology (IST) protests the award of a contract to The GM Cope-LAU Joint Venture under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00019-97-R-0043, issued by the Department of the Navy for 38 Video Mapper Replacement Units, 250 Remote Control Units, system software, 4 Installation Checkout Kits, training, and associated data. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated award of a fixed-price contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and contained a statement of work (SOW) which outlined the government's requirements. Award was to be made on a best value basis, considering price and the following technical factors: (1) technical aspects of the item offered to meet the government's requirements, including warranty (most important factor); (2) ability to meet the delivery schedule; and (3) past performance. In addition to a written description of the manufacturer's product specifications, ability to meet the delivery schedule and the data items proposed and how they meet the government's requirements, offerors were required to conduct a technical demonstration of their system, during which compliance with all requirements had to be demonstrated.
