Davim, Jr, Gentlemen: Reference L .ade to your telegram dated Septeiber 26, 1972, and subsequent letters, protesting the.issuance of request for proposals No. F42600-72-R-6565, by the Ogden Air Materiel Area, ll1 Air Force Base, Utah, to parties other than Goodyear, for a stated quantity of stationary brake discs to be used as spare parts, and the resulting award of a contract to Nasco Engineering, Incorporated, I Prior to the issuance of the subject .RFP, the stationary brake discs, P/N, 9533565, wore procured from Goodyear on a sole-source ,basis. However, in April 1972 the cognizant technical personuel determined that any subsequent procure- ment of the brake discs should be ouiie on a competitive basis. Consequently, Purchase Request No. FD2020-73-42603 was coded 2C, designating the suitability of the procurement for competition for the first time, in accordance with Air Force Regulation (AFR) 57-6. Nine firms were designated as the' ONLY KNOWN QUALIFIED SOURCES ' and of the nine sources solicited, only Goodyear and Hasco responded. Since Hasco was' the low propooer, but had not previously produced the brale disc, a pre-award survey was conducted by the Defense Contract Administration Servicee Office (DCASR) in Los Angeles, At the conclusion of the survey, a complete award to Nasco was recommended, After your protest wan filed with our Office, the contracting officer, on January 5, 1973, in accordance with ASPR' 2-407. 8(b)(3), determined that it was necessary to award the contract for the procurement of Uhe brake disc. The contract was awarded to Nasco on January 12, 1973. ProVes ~~cz ~ ~r Pors (%ryrad /~x~I ar~r,'L.i . 9e ~ Coup. ____JA UEST DOCUMENTAVAILABLBI i-: ooo oIV c 911. ': ti ! I . N, .- . I
