Selke, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, and Meagan K. Guerzon, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Pedro E. Briones, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the Small Business Administration (SBA) failed to consider vital information bearing on the awardee's responsibility in issuing a certificate of competency is denied where the allegedly vital information does not concern the awardee's compliance with definitive responsibility criteria and where there is no evidence that the procuring agency provided incorrect information, or withheld information, from the SBA.

(NAFTI), of Mansfield, Texas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPRDL1-16-R-0348, issued by the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), for collapsible fuel storage tanks. The contract was awarded after the Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a Certificate of Competency (COC) to NAFTI.
