Matter of:  Chicago American  Manufacturing, LLC

File:        B-419242

Date:       January 6, 2021

James  W. Kim, Esq., and Llewelyn M. Engel, Esq., McDermott Will & Emery LLP, for
the protester.
Matthew  R. Keiser, Esq., and C. Clay Weisenberger, Esq., Department of the Army, for
the agency.
Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

DIGEST

Agency  properly rejected protester's quotation for a delivery order under the Federal
Supply Schedule because one  of the protester's quoted items was not listed on its
schedule contract at the time the agency issued the order.
DECISION

Chicago American  Manufacturing, LLC, (Chicago American), a small business located
in Chicago, Illinois, protests the issuance of a delivery order to J. Squared, Inc., dba
University Loft Company (U Loft), of Greenfield, Indiana, by the Department of the
Army, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. W912DY-20-Q-0123, for replacement
furniture. The protester argues that the agency improperly rejected its quotation as
technically unacceptable.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

On April 24, 2020, the Army issued the RFQ as a small business set-aside under the
Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
subpart 8.4, to current holders of General Services Administration (GSA) schedule 71
