Robinson, Jr. Director, Defense Supply Agency Dear General Robinson: RGIE Reference is made to the letter dated September 19, 1973, from your Assistant Counsel concerning the protest of D. Moody & CO pay, Incorporated, against the rejection of its bid mder invitation for bids (iFB) No. =A-Wo0-73-~B.-7728 issued by the Defense General j Supply Cepter, Ricbnond, Virginia. We are enclosing a copy of our decisionl today denying the protest. The record in4ietes that award was made to Levis Eigineering Ccpaq on June 28, 1973. Moody apprently was not advised that its low bid was rejected as nonreeponsive until July 17, 1973, only after it had inquired as to the status of the subjeet IFB. The record further indicates that Moody was not advised as to the reason for rejection of its bid untOl August 3, 1973. Armed Services Pro- curement Regulation 2-W.lprovides for propt notce to be given the unsuccessful low bidder of the rejection of its bid. This regulation also provides that the reasons for sueh rejection must be furnished prptly to the unsuccessful low bidder. We do not think the notice in this case cc*lied with this requirement of ASPR. While this does not constitute a basis for questioning the validity of the award, we are bringing this mtter to your at- tention for future procurements so thxt ap.ropriate steps may be taken to assure that unsuccesful low bidders will be promptly notified of the rejection of their bids. Sincerely yours, pau. . Dembiing For tla CmtrU.er General of the United States Enclosure ran ... .. . . .. ... ' ,:.'Z , .D ' :.. ,'':/ .:.. ' :' - : ' ' , ~93 i ii
