Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Al Long Ford File: B-297807 Date: April 12, 2006 Tarik S. Daoud for the protester. William A. Roberts III, Esq., Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., and Antonella Karlin, Esq., Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP, for American Equipment Company, Inc., the intervenor. Vera Meza, Esq., U.S. Army Materiel Command, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where, after discussions had concluded, agency identified concerns pertaining to the achievability of protester's proposed delivery schedule that should have been apparent to the agency prior to discussions, discussions should have been reopened since proposed delivery schedule was an area that had to be addressed in order for the protester to be in line for award. DECISION Al Long Ford (ALF) protests the rejection of its offer and the award of a contract to American Equipment Company, Inc. (AMECO) under request for proposals (RFP) No. W56HZV-05-R-D117, issued by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) for light utility trucks and accompanying spare parts and manuals. The protester argues that its proposal represented a better value to the government than AMECO's because it offered a substantially shorter delivery schedule. We sustain the protest. The RFP provided for the award of a 2-year, fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract for a minimum quantity of 500 and a maximum quantity of 6,000 light utility trucks to be delivered to Iraq. Offerors were requested to furnish separate unit prices for the guaranteed minimum number of trucks, trucks in excess
