handle is hein.gao/gaobadbqw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Ii .L A GA O Comptroller General f. A Accountabity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: nanoPrecision Products, Inc. File: B-404297 Date: January 14, 2011 Michael K. Barnoski, for the protester. Ana Smith, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Frank Maguire, Esq., and David Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that agency treated offerors unequally by advising protester of closing date for receipt of revised proposals 3 days after it provided closing date to awardee is denied where record shows that request for revised proposals was initially issued without a closing date. When date was subsequently provided, protester was advised 3 days later than awardee. In our view, protester was not prejudiced because both offerors were on notice to begin preparing final revised proposals, both received same amount of time to prepare proposals, and, ultimately, agency extended closing date an additional 7 days at protester's request. DECISION nanoPrecision Products, Inc., (nPP), of El Segundo, California, protests the Department of the Navy's decision not to fund its proposal under Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR) Phase II solicitation No. 08.1, Research Topic #N08- 090, entitled Miniaturized Modular Fiber Optic/Copper Hybrid Circular Connector. The protester challenges the conduct of the competition and the evaluation of its proposal. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The SBIR program is conducted pursuant to the Small Business Innovation Development Act, 15 U.S.C. § 638 (2006), which requires certain federal agencies to reserve a portion of their research and development funds for awards to small businesses. As part of its SBIR program, DOD periodically issues SBIR solicitations
