Decision of The Comptroller General of the United States: Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical

Abstract

Company protested the award of a cost plus incentive fee contract on several contentions. The record does not support the contention that the contracting agency withheld date from the protester which was known to its competitor or that technical proposals were evaluated using data other than that furnished to all offerors. The agency's conclusion that the protester's proposed use of an untested design involved more risk than its competitor's use of a tested design was reasonable. Parametric and other cost-estimating techniques may legitimately be used by an agency to determine the credibility of each offeror's production estimates and most probable cost to the Government.
