Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency is improperly acquiring services on a sole-source basis is dismissed, where record shows that protester is not an interested party because it is not an approved source to provide the services, and, because of an ongoing private dispute with another concern regarding the protester's right to use certain technical data, protester is unable to submit a timely source approval request that the agency could act upon. DECISION Piedmont Propulsion Systems, LLC, of Winston Salem, North Carolina, protests the announcement of a proposed award of a sole-source contract to UTC Aerospace Systems, of Arlington, Virginia, by the Department of the Navy for depot-level repair services to be performed on the NP2000 propeller system. Piedmont maintains that the agency's proposed sole-source announcement is improper because it is capable of performing the work. We dismiss the protest.
