Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Native American Construction Services, LLC File: B-415386; B-415386.2 Date: January 2, 2018 John W. Bracken, Native American Construction Services, LLC, for the protester. Brian A. Quint, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly conducted procurement using simplified commercial item procedures and policies is dismissed as untimely where issue was not raised in prior agency-level protest. 2. Protest challenging agency's use of FedBid for the solicitation is dismissed where protester's allegations fail to assert a violation of procurement statute or regulation. DECISION Native American Construction Services, LLC (NAC), a small business located in Independence, California, protests the terms of invitation for bids (IFB) No. 40343964, issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), for the procurement of wild horse and burro feeding services. NAC argues that it was improper for the solicitation to use simplified procedures for the acquisition of commercial items because the solicited services do not constitute a commercial item. The protester also challenges the agency's decision to use FedBid for the solicitation of services. We dismiss the protest.
