handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafzg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Wind Gap Knitwear, Inc. File: B-276669 Date: July 10, 1997 David P. Metzger, Esq., and Craig A. Holman, Esq., Holland & Knight, for the protester. James H. Henry II, Esq., Henry, McCord, Bean & Miller, for Daun-Ray Casuals, Inc., an intervenor. Catherine C. Morris, Esq., and Michael Trovarelli, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Linda Glass, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of agency's failure to solicit firm that requested a copy of solicitation in response to a procurement synopsis in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) is denied where, although the protester knew--as a result of the CBD notice--that the agency estimated a May 25, 1996, closing date, the protester unreasonably delayed contacting the agency about its nonreceipt of the solicitation until months after its initial request (and after the September 13 actual closing date); the protester did not avail itself of every reasonable opportunity to obtain the solicitation. DECISION Wind Gap Knitwear, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Daun-Ray Casuals, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPO100-96-R-0144, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC) for Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS) undershirts. Wind Gap contends that DPSC's failure to provide it with a copy of the solicitation improperly denied it the opportunity to compete for the contract and violated the requirement for full and open competition in the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984, (CICA), 10 U.S.C. § 2304 (a)(1) (1994). We deny the protest.
