handle is hein.gao/gaocrptakzn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa E Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: G.E.G. Sugar Blues & Noe's Colors File: B-284117 Date: February 22, 2000 Elvira Grajales for the protester. Catherine Morris, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-Mc Grail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where request for quotations did not contain a provision advising that quotations must be submitted by a certain date to be considered, the contracting agency should have considered the protester's low quotation received prior to award since no substantial activity had transpired toward award and other offerors would not have been prejudiced. DECISION G.E.G. Sugar Blues & Noe's Colors (Sugar Blues) protests the issuance of a purchase order for women's shirts to Clemson University Clemson Apparel Research under request for quotations (RFQ) No. SPO100-99-Q-4249, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP). The agency refused to consider Sugar Blues' quotation, which was lower in price than Clemson's, because it was unable to confirm that the quotation had been received prior to the date specified in the RFQ. Sugar Blues contends that its quotation was submitted prior to the specified date and thus should have been considered. We sustain the protest.
