Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Fidelis Logistic and Supply Services File: B-414445; B-414445.2 Date: May 17, 2017 Ronald L. Fouse, Esq., Edwin 0. Childs, Jr., Esq., and Kathryn M. Caimi, Esq., McGuire Woods LLP, for the protester. MAJ Christopher C. Cross, and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging a contracting officer's affirmative responsibility determination is denied where the record shows that the contracting officer did not ignore information that, by its nature, would be expected to have a strong bearing on whether the awardee should be found responsible. 2. Protest that the agency improperly issued a delivery order to an awardee is denied where there was no significant countervailing evidence that the awardee would not, or could not, meet the delivery order requirements. DECISION Fidelis Logistic & Supply Services, of Kabul, Afghanistan, challenges the issuance of delivery order No. 0005 under contract No. W56KJD-15-D-0010 to the Awardeel for fuel supply for the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's (GIRoA) National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF). Fidelis challenges the agency's affirmative responsibility determination and also asserts that the available evidence demonstrates 1 During the course of this protest, the agency redacted the name of the awardee, due to an Army policy to not release the identity of host-nation awardees. Consistent with our prior practice in relation to this policy, we have withheld the name of the awardee from this decision. See Omran Holdingq Grp., B-409769, May 28, 2014, 2014 CPD 165 at 1 n.l.
