This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Parmatic Filter Corporation File: B-283645; B-283645.2 Date: December 20, 1999 Kevin M. Kordziel, Esq., Jenner & Block, for Parmatic Filter Corporation, the protester. Jeffrey I. Kessler, Esq., and Joseph M. Picchiotti, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., GAO, participated in the preparation of this decision. DIGEST Contracting officer reasonably determined that modification of ongoing contract was necessary to meet urgent requirements for a limited number of filters to protect against nuclear, biological and chemical threats, where the other potential source-- which would have to pass first article testing requirements and establish a production line under severe time constraints--had recently experienced multiple testing failures in attempting to pro duc e similar filters. DECISION Parmatic Filter Corporation protests the Department of the Army's modifications to contract No. DAAE20-96-C-0222 that had been previously awarded to Hunter Manufacturing Company for the production of certain 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) filter sets to protect against nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) threats at various military facilities. The required filters are designed to remove toxic gases and particles from contaminated air, and to provide breathable air for mobile and permanent shelters used by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force.' Parmatic protests 'The Army procures these NBC filters for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, as well as for itself. The filters are used with the Army's Patriot missile system, the Navy's shipboard collective protection systems (CPS), and the Air Force's transportable collective protection equipment (TCPE) and chemically hardened air transportable hospitals (CHATH).
