Morel International Export Management Services objected
to procurement procedures used by the Consumer Product Safety
Commission for obtaining economic and snvirounental data and to
the Commission's evaluation of Morells proposal. Morel stated
that: its proposal showed that it had personnel with the
appropriate consumer product knowledge and capability cf
performing the work; its proposed subcontractors uoulC provide
quicker response than would be provided ky emnloyees; the
solicitation did not identify the consumer products tc be
investiqated; its proposal addressed the impact of standards on
economic and environmental factors; it had geographic proximity
to data sources; and the contract avardee was preselected. A
review showed that the Commissionts procedures were prorer and
that it properly determined that horel did not offer the
a~dpropriate expertise and capabilities. (HTV)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaygp0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
