C. 2 0 509 I'ITU FILE; -1,1,57 MATTER OF: DATE: July 25, 1978 Otis Elevator Company DIGEST: Allegations that level and quality of parts inventory actually maintained by apparent low bidder does not conform to that certified in bid and that maintenance checklist furnished by low bidder was actually a copy of chacklist in use by protester pertain to low bidder's responsibility rather than responsiveness of bid. GAO no longer reviews affirmative determinations of responsibility absent excepLions not applicable here. The Otis Elevator Company (Otis) protests the award of a contract to the apparent low bidder under solicitation No. 4PBO-63 issued by the Public Build- ings Service, General Services Administration. The solicitation in question was issued for the procurement of maintenance services on five Otis VIP- 260 passenger elevators and one Otis collective pas- senger elevator. Otis contends that the apparent low bidder does not maintain the level of parts inventory which it certified in its bid documents and, furthor- more, that the inventory actually maintained by the apparent low bidder consists in part of used parts obtained from old Otis elevators. Otis also states that in response to a requirement for the sub- mission of a preventive maintenance schedule check chart actually in use by the offeror, the apparent low bidder submitted a reproduced copy of the Otis maintenance check chart presently in use by Otis on this particular job. 1~ I - A -?
