          DIGEST

          Protest challenging agency's affirmative determination of successful vendor's
          responsibility is dismissed where record does not support allegation that contracting
          officer failed to consider available relevant information.
          DECISION

          The Refinishing Touch (TRT) protests the agency's issuance of a purchase order to
          Commercial Marketing Corporation (CMC) under request for quotations (RFQ)
          No. W91 1RX-04-T-0044, issued by the Department of the Army for furniture
          refinishing services. The protester challenges the agency's selection of CMC,
          alleging that CMC's price is too low to perform the services the protester believes are
          required under the RFQ, and contesting the agency's affirmative determination of
          CMC's responsibility.

          We dismiss the protest.

          The RFQ, issued as a small business set-aside, sought refinishing services for Army
          barracks furniture at Fort Riley, Kansas. The RFQ's general performance-based
          specifications called for furniture reconstitution, including refinishing, relaminating,

          schedule represented a different type of furniture to be serviced. The RFQ, issued
