Z0348 February 14, 1979 B-193078 4A Seward & Kissel 00 _Counsel for Maryland Machine L t0- Tool Sales, Inc. 1737 H Street, N. W. Washington, D.C. 20006 Attention: Anthony C. J. Nuland, Esq. Gentlemen: This will acknowledge your letter to our Office dated January 17, 1979, withdrawing on behalf of Maryland Machine Tool Sales. Inc , its protest concerning solicitation No. N00600-77-R-1623 issued by the United States Navy. In your letter, you indicate that the difficulties which your client has encountered while bidding on Navy contracts reflect a general bias on the part of the Navy against foreign- source machinery. You state that during the past 2 years Maryland Machine Tool Sales, Inc., has been low bidder on a number of Navy solicitations but, except for one bid, was not awarded the contracts because the technical evaluations performed on the bids, as well as the negotiations and one preaward survey carried out in connection with the bids, imposed significant impediments to a bidder proposing to furnish a foreign-made machine other than one manufactured in the United Kingdom. Based on this, you believe that it would be fairer to small businesses if, instead of specifying in its solicitations that bids offering to furnish foreign-source machinery would be accented, Phe Vavw made it c1 eau .... it C! ji not inten to purchase foreign-source machinery unless manufactured in the United Kingdom. Because you have raised serious allecations concerning whether the Navy is foiiowing its own procurement procedures, we are referring your letter and our files on this matter to our Procurement and Systems Acquisitions Division for review and will notify you of the results.
