B-184690 1 (1976-03-02)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaddfa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISIDI * OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D. C. 20548 FILE: B-184690 DATE: March 2, 1-)76 MATTER OF: C.G.C.I. 9g '30 DIGEST: 1. Where protest against agency's failure to furnish copy of solicitation is filed with GAO within 10 working das of receipt of notice that copy of solicitation will not be furnished, protest is timely notwithstanding fact that pro- test is filed after closing date for receipt of proposals. 2. Agency's refusal to furnish prospective offeror with copy of solicitation on grounds none was available is not legally objectionable since agency is not required to prepare un- limited number of solicitations and it appears from record that adequate competition and reasonable prices were ob- tained and that agency did not seek to deliberately exclude any offeror from competing. 3. Contracting officer's decision to prepare only 16 solicita- tion packages is not unreasonable where the procurement was to be negotiated on the basis of public exigency and where there were 10 names on solicitation list, large number of additional requests were not expected, and time consuming hand correction of drawing for each package was necessary. 4. Where synopsis in Commerce Business Daily indicates that requests for copy of solicitation will be honored if re- ceived by agency within 10 days to extent copies are avail- able, agency's failure to comply with timely request be- cause copies are no longer available does not indicate violation of statute or regulation. C.G.C.I. has protested the failure of the Department of the Army to furnish it with a copy of request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAG12-76-R-0001 issued on July 14, 1975, by the Pueblo Army Depot, Pueblo, Colorado (Army). C.G.C.I. requests that it be furnished a copy of the RFP and that the original August 1, 1975 closing date for receipt of proposals be extended so that it may submit a proposal.. - 1 -
