          DIGEST

          Protest that awardee's proposal to perform repairs outside area where repair items
          originate is denied where solicitation did not expressly limit competition to offerors
          in any specific geographical location.
          DECISION

          Solec Corporation protests the award of a contract to Tigertek Industrial Services
          under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62381-06-R-1001, issued by the Department
          of the Navy for electric motor repair services. Solec asserts that Tigertek failed to
          meet a geographical restriction in the RFP.

          We deny the protest.

          The Military Sealift Fleet Support Command (MSFSC) operates various ships in
          support of the Navy's combatant fleet. The RFP, a small business set-aside,
          contemplated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract for the repair,
          reconditioning, and replacement of various motors and fans on MSFSC vessels
          located at government piers. Proposals were to be evaluated on the basis of six
          factors: understanding the scope of work, facilities, management control and quality
          assurance, experience, past performance, and price. Award was to be made to the
          firm submitting the lowest-priced technically acceptable proposal.

          Under the heading location, the RFP provided that the contractor was required to
          perform the work as ordered onboard MSFSC vessels, with the work generally to be
          performed at government piers in the Tidewater, Virginia area, including Norfolk,
