handle is hein.gao/gaocrptamrb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O0 Comptroller General A a * Integrity Reliability of the United States ~ccountabthty Inert Rea iy United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: GMA Cover Corporation File: B-288018 Date: August 17, 2001 Marc A. King for the protester. Walter R. Pierce, Esq., and Gail L. Booth, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's failure to solicit a quote from the protester for an urgently needed item under an oral solicitation conducted under simplified acquisition procedures is unobjectionable where the contracting officer solicited the sources that she was aware had supplied the item and she was unaware of the protester's interest in submitting a quote, notwithstanding that the protester had supplied the item for another agency and had submitted quotes on prior agency simplified procedure acquisitions of the item. DECISION GMA Cover Corporation protests the award of purchase order No. SP0750-01-M-0990 to John Johnson Company for 120 fitted vehicular covers by the Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Supply Center, Columbus, Ohio (DSCC). GMA contends that DSCC improperly denied GMA the opportunity to compete for the order. We deny the protest. In April 2001, DSCC determined that it had an urgent requirement for 120 fitted vehicular covers, National Stock Number (NSN) No. 2540-01-472-5091. DSCC had no supplies on hand of the item, which is a Level A weapon system supporting the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles critical to the protection of troops and supplies, so that accelerated award and delivery of the item were required. Contracting Officer's Report at 1; Agency Report, Tab 4, Statement of Urgency.
