handle is hein.gao/gaocrptamqn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O0 Comptroller General A a * Integrity Reliability of the United States ~ccountabthty Inert Rea iy United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Lynwood Machine & Engineering, Inc. File: B-287652 Date: August 2, 2001 Howard N. Carpenter and Nick Berkem for the protester. Mary E. Clarke, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST It was reasonable for agency to consider poor performance record of protester's proposed special projects manager in evaluating protester's past performance, where protester itself lacked a performance record with respect to the required services, and the information available to the agency indicated that the special projects manager would play an important role in performing the contemplated contract. DECISION Lynwood Machine & Engineering, Inc. protests the award of a contract to SAF Engineering Associates, Inc. under request for quotations (RFQ) No. SP0833- 00-Q-0171, issued by the Defense National Stockpile Center (DNSC), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), for material handling services. Lynwood challenges the determination that its quotation was unacceptable. We deny the protest. The RFQ, issued for commercial items and utilizing simplified acquisition procedures, requested quotations for the stacking, banding, and weighing of approximately 3,972 metric tons (MT) of zinc, and approximately 78,564 MT of lead, at the DNSC facility in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The work is preparatory to sale of these materials by DLA. The contractor will be required to handle a minimum of 200 MT per day. Because of the presence of fine particles of lead and lead components on the ingots and in the soil in and around the storage areas, the RFQ warned of potential health hazards and included requirements for testing and the use of protective clothing and respirators.
