Where initial protest correspondence raises issues not reviewable by GAO, no useful purpose is served by further development under Bid Protest Procedures, and summary-'dismissal is in order. Marine Inventibry Surveyors protests the rejection of its low bid under solicitation No. N00600-78-3-1276, issued by the Washington Navy Yatd, Department of the Navy. i The protester argues that it has not received a fair and proper. evaluation of its ability to perform the work, and that its ultimate rejection was a certainty from the outset. Moreover, the protester believes that even though its price was low for work described in two lots in the solicitation, that is work required on the east and west coasts respectively, its ability to perform the combined work of both lots was not adequately considered. Navy's contracting officer found Marine Inventory to be nonresponsible after review of, and concurrence in, the negative recommendation and findings of a pre- award survey team. Since Marine Inventory is a small business coheern, the matter was referred to the Small Business Administr'ation (90A) for a determinatioh as to whether a Certificate of Competency (COC) would be issued. SBA subsequently declined to issA Marine Inventory a COC for the instant procurement and this protest ensued. I I I' ~ I I */~ a I I i
