           DIGEST

           Protest that contract award was improper because awardee did not attend a
           scheduled site visit is denied where the solicitation did not require that vendors visit
           the site on a specific date, and the record shows that the awardee visited the
           construction site prior to scheduled site visit.
           DECISION

           Silicon Ro Foundation, of Sarasota, Florida, protests the award of a contract by the
           Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, to Ricostar Tulcea
           LTD, under Request for Quotations (RFQ) No. N33191-12-T-2000, for the
           renovation of two schools in Romania.' Silicon Ro argues that the Navy's contract
           award was improper because Ricostar did not attend the Navy's site visit.

           We deny the protest.

           BACKGROUND

           The Navy issued the RFQ on October 18, 2011, seeking quotations for the design
           and renovation of the Sarata Basarab and Racovat Rural Schools in Romania.2

           submitted a quotation in response to the solicitation.
           2 The solicitation sought quotations for a base bid and an option for a perimeter
           fence, entrance canopy and sidewalk at one of the schools. RFQ at 4.
