          Matter  of:  Baldt Inc.

          File:        B-402596.3

          Date:        June 10, 2010

          Glenn  S. Suplee for the protester.
          Theresa A. Chestnut, Esq., Department of the Navy, Naval Supply Systems
          Command,   for the agency.
          Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protest that an award using simplified acquisition procedures was improper because
          the awardee's price exceeded the simplified acquisition threshold, and that agency
          should re-compete its requirements using sealed bidding or contracting by
          negotiation procedures rather than using simplified acquisition procedures, is
          untimely where the protester knew or should have known, prior to submission of
          quotations, that the agency may not have had a reasonable expectation that its
          requirements could be acquired within the simplified acquisition threshold.
          DECISION

          Baldt, Inc., of Chester, Pennsylvania, protests the award to Lister Chain and Forge,
          Inc., of Blaine, Washington, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. N00244-10-T-
          0091, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Supply Systems Command, for
          non-magnetic  stud link chain.

          We  dismiss the protest.

          The RFQ  was issued using simplified acquisition procedures for a non-magnetic stud
          link specialized chain, and the RFQ included Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
          clause 52.213-4, Terms and Conditions -Simplified Acquisitions (Other Than
          Commercial  Items).
