          Decision


          Matter of: G&M Industries

          File:        B-290354

          Date:        July 17, 2002

          Deborah A. Johnson for the protester.
          Robert J. McMullen, Esq., Naval Supply Systems Command, for the agency.
          Louis A. Chiarella, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is unobjectionable where the
          record establishes that the evaluation is reasonable and consistent with the stated
          evaluation criteria; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's evaluation does
          not render the evaluation unreasonable.
          DECISION

          G&M Industries protests the award of a contract to Daisy Manufacturing Company
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00140-02-R-G605, issued by the Department
          of the Navy for facsimile drill rifles. G&M principally claims that the evaluation of its
          proposal was unreasonable.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP, issued as a total small business set-aside on February 6, 2002,
          contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract for the production of facsimile drill
          rifles for use by Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and Navy Junior ROTC
          programs. The performance work statement (PWS) required the facsimile rifle to be
          a replica, in terms of size, weight, balance, and appearance, of the demilitarized
          Springfield drill rifle that it was to replace. The PWS also established requirements
          for the rifle's level of detail, material, durability, assembly, and interchangeability of
          parts.

          The RFP established three technical factors of equal importance: past performance,
          management plan, and drawing package. The solicitation stated that all technical
          evaluation factors, when combined, would be considered more important than price,
