Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's decision to execute a foreign military sales contract on a sole-source basis is denied where record shows that protester is not capable of meeting the buyer's requirements. DECISION Bravura Information Technology Systems, Inc. (BITS), of Aberdeen, Maryland, protests the proposed sole-source award of a contract to TCOM, L.P., of Columbia, Maryland, announced under notice No. W56KGY-20-R-KSAPSST, issued by the Department of the Army for aerostat systems and related services to be acquired on behalf of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). BITS argues that the agency unreasonably has determined to acquire the aerostat systems on a sole-source basis rather than competitively. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND This acquisition is being conducted under the authority of the Arms Export Control Act, 22 U.S.C. §§ 2751-2799aa-2, which authorizes the Department of Defense to enter into contracts for purposes of resale to foreign countries or international organizations.
