handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadrj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Saturn Industries File: B-261954.3 Date: January 5, 1996 George W. Ash, Esq., and William J. Lewandowski, Esq., Dykema Gossett, for the protester. Gwendolyn M. Hoover, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, and Arthur M. Boley, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agencies. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably determined that qualification testing of a transmission component for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle is required where the component is a critical item, the failure of which would create a serious safety risk. 2. Protester has had reasonable opportunity to meet qualification requirements where it has known of those requirements for more than 2 years. 3. Qualification requirements in solicitation do not represent unequal treatment of protester where previously approved sources have similarly demonstrated the operational capabilities of their components. DECISION Saturn Industries protests certain provisions of solicitation No. SP0750-95-R-0213 issued by the Defense Construction Supply Center (DCSC), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), seeking proposals to provide 515 hydraulic motor race assemblies, national stock number (NSN) 2520-01-109-4375, to be used in the transmission of the M2 and M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle. Saturn raises various issues regarding the solicitation's qualification requirements for a component of the race assemblies. We deny the protest. 15114
