Gdanski, Esq., for the protester. Robert L. Mercadante, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Peter A. Iannicelli, Esq., and John Van Schaik, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a small purchase acquisition conducted under simplified acquisition procedures, the contracting officer properly rejected the protester's quotation as technically unacceptable where the quotation lacked the most rudimentary technical information required by the request for quotations. DECISION Huntington Valley Industries protests that the Defense Industrial Supply Center (DISC) improperly rejected the quotation it submitted in response to request for quotations (RFQ) No. SP0500-96-T-Y807 for close tolerance screws. We deny the protest. The procurement was conducted under simplified acquisition procedures authorized by the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (FASA), 10 U.S.C. § 2304(g) (1994), as implemented in part 13 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The RFQ was issued by DISC under automated procedures using the DISC electronic bulletin board to solicit and receive quotations. Firms desiring access to the electronic bulletin board to review the RFQs and submit quotations are required to enter into small purchase agreements with DISC. The agreements set forth terms, conditions, provisions and clauses which are applicable to RFQs and purchase orders issued by DISC for small purchases, including those solicited and awarded electronically.' DISC and Huntington have entered into such an agreement. 'For further discussion of how DISC conducts simplified acquisition procedures using its electronic bulletin board, see Arcv Mfg. Co., Inc.: et al., B-261538 et al., Aug. 14, 1995, 95-2 CPD 283. 434926
