         Decision


         Matter of: Hill Aerospace & Defense, LLC

         File:      B-285917

         Date:      October 23, 2000


         John J. Fausti, Esq., for the protester.
         Maj. Cynthia M. Mabry, U.S. Army Materiel Command; and Brian E. Toland, Esq.,
         U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, for the agencies.
         Scott H. Riback, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
         participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Agency reasonably rejected protester's proposal to furnish unused government
         surplus parts where items being acquired were critical flight safety parts and
         protester failed to provide information (serial numbers) necessary to verify the
         quality of the items being offered.
         DECISION

         Hill Aerospace & Defense, LLC protests the award of a contract to SIFCO Custom
         Machine, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAH23-00-R-0502, issued by
         the Department of the Army for quantities of seven flight critical spare parts for the
         T-53 engines used in the UH-1 Helicopter fleet. Hill maintains that the agency
         improperly made award to SIFCO for one of the parts being solicited, since Hill's
         price was low.'

         We deny the protest.



         'Hill originally filed two protests in connection with the agency's acquisition under
         this solicitation, one against the award of a contract to SIFCO for three of the seven
         parts being purchased, and another protesting the award of a contract to Dynatech
         International Corporation for two other parts. After receiving the agency's report in
         response to the protests, Hill withdrew its protests with respect to all of the parts
         except one, part No. 1-100-063-05, awarded to SIFCO.
