Each company contended that it should get the contract
award. Axel and Deutschmann were the only toa offerors on the
solicitation, with Deutschmann submitting the low bid. The
conflict centered on whether reutachmann could qualify as an
approved source for this procurement as required by the
solicitation. The offeror should be considered as an approved
source where the Air Force technical personnel approved the
offeror subject to the addition of a first article test
provision to the contract. Relaxation of the delivery terms
during negotiations with only one of the two offerorE was
improper, and a new round of negotiations was recommended.
