           File:       B-406614

           Date:       July 17, 2012

           Robert S. Bowen and Peter A. Vargus, Crown Worldwide Moving & Storage,
           for the protester.
           Kate Gorney, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency.
           Matthew T. Crosby, Esq., and Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., Office of the General
           Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Where solicitation did not require submission of licenses or permits prior to award,
           protest that agency improperly awarded contract to firm that allegedly lacks various
           business licenses and permits constitutes a challenge to the agency's affirmative
           responsibility determination, which this Office does not review absent exceptions
           not alleged here.
           DECISION

           Crown Moving and Storage Company, d/b/a Crown Worldwide Moving & Storage,
           of San Leandro, California, protests the award of a task order to CG Moving
           Company, of San Bruno, California, under request for quotations (RFQ) No.
           VA-261-12-Q-0082, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs, for relocation
           services for the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Crown contends
           that CG does not hold various licenses and permits and that CG therefore was
           ineligible for award.

           We deny the protest.
