handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaqvm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: United Valve Company File: B-295879 Date: April 25, 2005 Brian J. Donovan, Esq., and Peter B. Jones, Esq., Jones & Donovan, for the protester. Capt. Victor G. Vogel and Capt. Danny Lee, United States Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is denied where agency reasonably granted source approval to awardee after concluding that awardee was operating a previously approved source, and would produce part using same manufacturing facility, machinery, trained personnel, and test stands. 2. Protest is denied where, although agency awarded contract based on longer delivery schedule that awardee requested after deadline for submission of final proposal revisions, the record shows that agency had waived schedule specified in the solicitation for both competitors, and protester has not shown competitive prejudice, since its own requested schedule was already longer than schedule granted to awardee, and protester's proposal offered a higher price. DECISION United Valve Company (UVC), a small business, protests the award of a contract to Logistical Support, LLC (LS) by the United States Army Materiel Command (AMC) under request for proposals (RFP) No. W58RGZ-04-R-0567 for flutter dampeners, a part used in the UH-1 Huey helicopter. UVC argues that the agency unreasonably regarded LS as an approved source, and improperly granted LS a relaxed delivery schedule, which LS requested after the deadline for submission of its final proposal revision (FPR). We deny the protest.
