This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Marvin Land Systems, Inc. File: B-276434; B-276434.2 Date: June 12, 1997 William A. Roberts III, Esq., Lee P. Curtis, Esq., and Richard P. Castiglia Jr., Esq., Howrey & Simon, for the protester. Joel R. Feidelman, Esq., Anne B. Perry, Esq., and Nancy R. Wagner, Esq., Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, for Napco International, Inc., an intervenor. Vera Meza, Esq., and Robert A. Maskery, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where protester challenges exclusion from consideration for the award of a reprocurement contract, protest is denied as to base quantity, because agency reasonably determined that only the awardee could satisfy its requirements for the base quantity within the time required. DECISION Marvin Land Systems, Inc. protests the sole source award of contract No. DAAE07- 97-C-X065 to Napco International, Inc. by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) for M113A3 conversion kits. The contract is a reprocurement of a requirement that had been previously awarded to Kit Pack Company; Kit Pack's contract was terminated for default. Marvin contends that the agency had no reasonable basis to exclude it from consideration for award of this requirement. We deny the protest. The M113A3 conversion kits are necessary to support ongoing upgrades at Anniston Army Depot, Alabama, and Bokuk Industries, Guji, Korea of the M113 Family of Vehicles (the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier, M577 Command Post Vehicle, M1068 Standard Integrated Command Post Systems, M58 Smoke, Opposing Forces Surrogate Vehicle, and M1064 120MM Mortar System). The kits contain more than 1,100 different parts, several of which (such as the armor plate, transmission controller, and variable speed fan drive) are long-lead items.
