This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Piedmont Propulsion Systems, LLC File: B-410914.2 Date: March 17, 2015 Darwin A. Hindman III, Esq., and Joshua Mullen, Esq., Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, for the protester. Scott E. Pickens, Esq., Barnes & Thornburg LLP, for Rolls-Royce Corporation, an intervenor. Thomas J. Florip, Esq., Thomas P. Fort, Esq., Bridget A. Jarvis, Esq., and James B. Travis, Esq. Department of the Navy, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of a proposed sole-source contract, which the agency justifies on the basis that only one responsible source will satisfy the requirement without unacceptable delay, is denied where the record reasonably supports the agency's justification, and there is no basis to conclude that the use of noncompetitive procedures was caused by the agency's lack of reasonable advance procurement planning. DECISION Piedmont Propulsion Systems, LLC, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, protests the issuance by the Department of the Navy, Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), of a notice of its intent to award a sole-source contract to Rolls-Royce Corporation for performance-based logistics to support the United States Marine Corps' (USMC) KC-130J aircraft propulsion systems. Piedmont challenges the propriety of the proposed sole-source award, arguing that the justification lacks a reasonable basis and reflects a lack of reasonable advanced procurement planning by the agency. We deny the protest.
