V.Fl dlfil FILE: 3-190773 DATE: April 17, 1978 MATTER OF: Ronald Campbell Company DIGEST: Bid of Canadian fnrm properly found nonresponsive where required endorse- ment of Canadian Commercial Corporation not furnished with bid. Ronald Campbell Company (Campbell) protests the award of requirements contract M00027-78-D-0026 by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to Southwest: Business Publications Co. for magazine subscription services tobe furnished to USMC activities from November 18, 1977, through March 31, 1979. The invitation for bids (IND), M00027-77~B-0046, was issued on August 25, 1977. Biels were opened on September 23, 1977, and Campbell '.as the low bidder on certain ittms. However, for the IFB as a whole, it was the third low bidder. he IPD stated that a split award would be considered if the Government's best interest woud thereby be served, but that a single award was contemplated. On November 22, 1977, Campbell was informed by USMC that its bid was nonresponsive because as a Canadian firm, it failed to furnish the endorsement of the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) required by Armed Services Procurement Regulation (ASPR) 6 6-504.I(b)(1) (1976 ed.). Campbell argues that it was not required to furnish the endorsement because ASPR S 6-504.2(b) pro- vides that, among other situations not relevant here, procurements negotiated with Canadian firms under ASPR S 3-203 (1976 ed.) for small purchases need not follow the general policy of being made through the CCC. - 1-
