File: B-280447 Date: August 28, 1998 David M. Goodman for the protester. Katherine A. Day, Esq., Federal Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's contention that the agency improperly evaluated awardee's past performance is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the ratings assigned the awardee's proposal. 2. Whether an offeror can or will supply domestic products in accordance with the terms of a solicitation concerns a matter of responsibility which General Accounting Office generally will not review absent a showing of possible bad faith, or that definitive responsibility criteria may not have been met. DECISION YKK (U.S.A.), Inc. protests the award of a contract to Pacific Contract Management (PCM) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 1PI-R-1005-98, issued by the Department of Justice, Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR), for various quantities of zippers. YKK contends that the agency improperly failed to evaluate PCM's proposal in accordance with the evaluation criteria announced in the RFP. YKK also argues that PCM intends to furnish a non-domestic item in violation of the solicitation. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on March 19, 1998 to 13 potential offerors and contemplated the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite -quantity requirements contract for a base year and up to two 1-year option periods. Section B of the RFP listed 36 contract line item numbers (CLIN) describing the various zipper requirements and estimated quantities for each CLIN for the base (CLINs 0001-0012) and option periods (CLINs 0013-0036). For the base period, the zippers identified by CLINs 0001-0009 were to be delivered to Fort Dix, New Jersey, and those identified by CLINs 0010-0012 were to be delivered to UNICOR Federal Prison
