R 0f5oAh FILE: 8-189642 DATE: April 6, 1978 MATTER OF: Dubie-aClark Company, Patterson Pump vivision--Request fot Reconrideration DIGEST: 1. Request for reconsideration of GAO protest decision is denied where protester contends that agency's affirmative determination of bidder responsibility is erroneous. Such issues are not reviewed in the absence of fraud or a definitive responsibility criterion, neither of which have been established in this case. 2. Request for conference made on reconsideration is granted only where matter cannot be promptly resolved without a conference because GAO Bid Protest Procedures do not explicitly provide for a conference on reconsideration and because it is the purpose of those procedures to effect prompt redolution of reconsideration requests. The Pattetson Pump Division (Patterson) of Dubie- Clark Company has requested that we reconsider our decision denying its protest in Dubie-Clark Company, Patterson Pump Division, B-189642, February 28, 1978, 78-1 CPD 161.* Patterson asserted in its original protest that the awardee, Axel Johnson Corporation (Axel) did not comply with a solicitation provision which requested bidders to provide information concerning their prior work experience. The provision, paragraph 7 of tle Invitation for Bids (IFB), entitled Qualifications, provided in per#inent part: 7. QUALIFICATIONS. Each bidder shall state in his bid whether he is now or ever has been engaged on any contract or other work similar to that proposed, giving the location and rat- ing of tht equipment and the year in which it was manufactured or installed. He shall also submit Such other information as will tend to show his ability to prosecute vigorously the work required by these specifications.
