Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Dehler Manufacturing Co., Inc. File: B-416939 Date: January 10, 2019 Kristi Morgan Aronica, Esq., and Mark A. Weitz, Esq., Weitz Morgan PLLC, for the protester. Howard J. Stanislawski, Esq., and Patrick K. O'Keefe, Esq., Sidley Austin LLP, on behalf of J. Squared, Inc., d/b/a University Loft Company, the intervenor. Garry L. Brewer, Esq., Department of the Army, and Sam Q. Le, Esq., Small Business Administration, for the agencies. Louis A. Chiarella, 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 protester's responsibility in denying the issuance of a certificate of competency is denied where there is no evidence that the procuring agency provided incorrect information or withheld information from the SBA. DECISION Dehler Manufacturing Co, Inc., of San Antonio, Texas, protests the issuance of a delivery order to J. Squared, Inc., d/b/a University Loft Company (University Loft), of Greenfield, Indiana, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. W912DY-18-T-0144, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Engineering & Support Center (Corps), for furniture items. Dehler argues the Corps' evaluation of the vendor's quotation was improper, and that the Small Business Administration (SBA) erred in denying Dehler a Certificate of Competency (COC) because the procuring agency failed to present vital information to the SBA bearing on the firm's responsibility. We deny the protest.
