Nunez, Esq., Foley & Lardner LLP, for the protester.
Niketa L. Wharton, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.Lois Hanshaw, Esq.,
and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the
preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest challenging agency's determination to qualify an offeror as an approved
source is denied where the record shows that the agency's determination was
reasonably based.

2. Protest of corrective action, which includes termination of a contract and
resolicitation of the government's requirements, is denied where the agency's corrective
action is appropriate to remedy flaws identified with the underlying procurement.
DECISION

United Valve Company (United), of El Segundo, California, protests the corrective
action taken by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), in response to our
recommendation for corrective action in United Valve Co., B-416277, B-416277.2,
July 27, 2018, 2018 CPD   268 (Decision). In that decision, we sustained United's
protest against award of a contract to Logistical Support LLC (LSL), of Chatsworth,
California, under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPE4A7-17-R-1 321, issued by DLA
for stability damper assemblies (damper assemblies) for use on the UH-1 helicopter.
The protester asserts that the agency's announced corrective action is flawed and fails
to reasonably implement GAO's recommendation.


We deny the protest in part, and dismiss the protest in part.
