Accountability * Integrity Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Frasca International, Inc. File: B-293299 Date: February 6, 2004 Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., L. James D'Agostino, Esq., Leigh T. Hansson, Esq., and Natalia W. Geren, Esq., Reed Smith, for the protester. Geoffrey D. Chun, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency improperly consolidated requirements for pilot training with flight training devices in violation of the Competition in Contracting Act is denied, where the protester does not allege, and the record does not show, that the consolidation precluded it from having a reasonable chance for award, and thus the protester has not shown that it was prejudiced. DECISION Frasca International, Inc. protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N61339-03-R-0084, issued by the Department of the Navy for pilot instructors and flight training devices (FTD) to administer classroom and simulator training for the TC-12B aircraft. Frasca contends that bundling of the FTDs with the other training services, which were previously procured under separate contracts, contravenes the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA). We deny the protest. In August and September of 2003, the Navy published a sources sought notice and two pre-solicitation notices concerning the requirement for pilot training and two FTDs. Both small and large businesses responded to these notices, and interested firms were provided a site visit to familiarize them with the government-furnished property required to be used under the contract. At least seven small businesses, five of which were FTD suppliers, attended the site visit, and the agency visited the facilities of four FTD suppliers, including two small businesses. Frasca is one of the small business FTD suppliers that responded to the sources sought notice, attended the site visit, and whose facilities were visited by the Navy.
