B-222218.2 1 (1986-04-03)

handle is hein.gao/gaobacvuj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNatt. B-222218.2 April 3, 1986 Boonton Electronics Corporation 791 Route 10 Randolph, New Jersey 07869 Attn: Robert J. Hannon President Gentlemen: This is in response to your letter of March 14, 1986 requesting clarification of our dismissal of your protest. We dismissed the protest because it is concerned with the award of a subcontract by a company that you describe as a second-tier contractor. We do not consider such matters., Under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984, 31 U.S.C.A. §§ 3551-3556 (West Supp. 1985), which provides this Office with specific authority to resolve bid protests, our jurisdiction is limited to contract awards made by and solicitations issued by federal agencies. Furthermore, protests may be filed only by actual or prospective bidders or offerors on the federal agency procurement. Although the equipment about which you are concerned ultimately will be integrated into a system delivered to the government under a contract awarded by the Navy, the specific purchase of the equipment by a subcon- tractor for delivery to the Navy's prime contractor does not constitute a procurement by a federal agency. Accordingly, we had no choice but to dismiss your protest. Sincerely yours, Ronald Berger Deputy Associate General Counsel
