Abstract:

This procurement calls into question the propriety of restricting competition for the award of production contracts to development contractors under the Department of Defense's "prototype" or "parallel development" method of procuring major defense systems when another company claims and attempts to demonstrate that it has developed and can furnish equipment comparable to the prototypes furnished by the development contractors.
