Matter of: Team Wendy, LLC

File:        B-417700.2

Date:       October 16, 2019

Susan Warshaw Ebner, Esq., Eric Whytsell, Esq., and Christy Milliken, Esq., Stinson
LLP, for the protester.
Lisa L. Baker, Esq., Major Will A. Schmitt, Graeme S. Henderson, Esq., and Ellen B.
Clark, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency.
Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency improperly requested the National Industries for the Blind
add a competitor's product to the AbilityOne procurement list is dismissed because
GAO does not review this matter.

2. Protest that the agency is improperly seeking to modify a contract for helmets, by
replacing a component of the helmet supplied by the protester with a component
supplied by a competing firm, is dismissed where the protester, as a supplier of the
component, is not an interested party to allege an out of scope modification of the
helmet contract.
DECISION

Team Wendy, LLC, a small business, of Cleveland, Ohio, challenges the actions of the
U.S. Marine Corps in connection with contract No. M67854-17-D-1221, which was
awarded to Gentex, Inc., of Simpson, Pennsylvania, to provide enhanced combat
helmets (ECHs). The protester contends that the agency intends to award an improper
sole-source contract to Gentex for a component of the ECH which the protester
currently supplies.


We dismiss the protest.
