Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Potomac Electric Corporation File: B-418908; B-418908.2 Date: October 16, 2020 Leny Chertov, Potomac Electric Corporation, for the protester. Eric C. Selke, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Kasia Dourney, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging a solicitation limited to only two previously approved sources as unduly restrictive of competition is denied where the protester did not submit a source approval request for the items being procured. DECISION Potomac Electric Corporation, a small business of Boston, Massachusetts, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. SPRDL1-19-R-0327, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Land Warren unit, for DC traverse electric motors. Potomac argues that the RFP is unduly restrictive in that it limits the competition to only two previously approved sources of supply. The protester also challenges the process to become an approved source, arguing it is unfair because it fails to provide a reasonable opportunity for alternative sources to become approved. Finally, the protester contends that the restrictive nature of the procurement is due to the agency's lack of advanced planning. We deny the protest.
