File: B-296988 Date: October 11, 2005 Robert E. Korroch, Esq., Williams Mullen, for the protester. Kenneth T. Rye, Esq., and George Brezna, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Kenneth L. Kilgour, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the time allowed for submission of quotations was unreasonable is denied where the solicited firms received a reasonable time to respond to the solicitation and the agency was under no obligation to solicit the protester. 2. Protest challenging agency's failure to publicly display solicitation is denied where the record supports the agency's use of the unusual and compelling urgency exception to the public display requirement. 3. Protest that the awardee was improperly permitted to alter its quotation is denied where the record supports the agency's assertion that, initially, the quotation was misinterpreted by the contracting specialist and in fact no alteration to the quotation was ever made. DECISION Specialty Marine, Inc. (SMI) protests the issuance of a purchase order by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), Sealift Logistics Command Atlantic (SEALOGLANT), to Atlantic Fabrication & Boiler Services, Inc. under solicitation No. N2141952135000, to perform a flush of the Central Fresh Water System (CFWS) on a Navy ship.
