B-274272 1 (1996-08-29)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaelg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Total Procurement Services, Inc. File: B-272343.2 et al.1 Date: August 29, 1996 Richard Snyder for the protester. Rowena H. Conkling, Esq., Department of Transportation, and Michael Colvin, Department of Health and Human Services, for the agencies. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Value-Added Network (VAN) is not an interested party under the Bid Protest Regulations eligible to protest the purchase item descriptions contained in request for quotations (RFQ) issued through the Federal Acquisition Computer Network where there is no evidence that the VAN does or intends to do anything other than provide communication services, and the remote possibility that it might or could submit quotes does not make it an actual or prospective offeror with a sufficiently direct interest in the RFQs to be considered an interested party. DECISION Total Procurement Services, Inc. (TPS) protests a number of requests for quotations (RFQ) issued by the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, United States Department of Transportation (DOT), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The HHS RFQs are for various medical and other equipment for use at NIH and the DOT RFQs are for a variety of computer equipment and supplies. TPS alleges that the RFQs contain inadequate and/or defective purchase item descriptions. We dismiss the protests because the protester is not an interested party. 1B-272344.2; B-272345.2; B-272347.2; B-272348.2; B-272349.2; B-272453; B-272512; B-272513; B-272514; B-272515; B-272516; B-272517; B-272566, B-272813; B-272814; B-272815; B-272890; B-272891; B-272892; B-272900; B-272901; B-272902; B-272903; B-272904; B-272923; B-272941; B-274082; B-274174; B-274270; B-274271; B-274272; B-274342; and B-274343. 1149829
