Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: GC Works, Inc. File: B-416379; B-416379.2 Date: August 14, 2018 Amy Laderberg O'Sullivan, Esq., Olivia L. Lynch, Esq., and Rosamond Z. Xiang, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. M. Craig Hall, Esq., CRH Americas, Inc., for Staker & Parson Companies, an intervenor. Jack Gilbert, Esq., Department of Transportation, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that award was improper because the awardee was not registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) is denied where record shows that, in fact, the awardee was registered in SAM at the time of award. DECISION GC Works, Inc., of Miami, Florida, protests the award of a contract to Staker & Parson Companies, d/b/a Hales Sand & Gravel (S&P), of Ogden, Utah, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 6982AF1 8B000005, issued by the Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, for repaving work on the Ephraim Canyon Road in Sandpete County, Utah. GC argues that the agency improperly made award to S&P because the firm was not registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at the time of award, and because of an alleged defect in the bid bond submitted with S&P's bid, as well as irregularities in the bid itself. We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. The IFB called for fixed-price bids to perform the required work and advised that award would be made to the responsive, responsible bidder submitting the lowest price. IFB at A-4. The record shows that the agency received three bids by the bid opening date of April 17, 2018. S&P submitted the low bid and GC submitted the second-low bid. The agency made award to S&P on May 8 for approximately $3.8 million.
