Percy /P', United States Senate V Dear Senator Percy: Your letter of May 31, 1973, requested-that we examine into complaints from your constituent about lr~ocuxemeoqt, pro- , u,.o..,,_Of the ..Naval AmmunitionDeppt (NAD), Crane, Indiana. Your constituent, who represents the HLC Manufacturing Company, raised a number of questions concerning the follow- ing issues. --Although a contract for a camera system was terminated because the contractor failed to deliver, no penalty was assessed. --Because of an ambiguity in the delivery schedule for another procurement for a camera system, NAD judged an HLC bid nonresponsive. --The specifications were revised on a resolicitation for a camera system in favor of the R. W. Borrowdale Company, an HLC competitor. --On another procurement NAD issued a request for pro- posal to only one firm, although other companies were equally capable of supplying the equipment. Our examination of the records and discussions with agency officials pertaining to these procurements revealed no basis for questioning the agency actions or for concluding that favoritism was involved. NO PENALTY FOR NONDELIVERY On June 23, 1969, NAD entered into a contract with the Solid State Equipment Corporation for a camera system. But Solid State could not deliver the system because it could not acquire a light system that met specifications. ~9~ '9 O9/o8
