File: B-292140 Date: May 29, 2003 Philip Chant for the protester. Joshua A. Kranzberg, Esq., and John E. Klecha, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a best value procurement conducted using simplified acquisition procedures, protest of agency's evaluation of quotation is denied where review of record shows evaluation was reasonable. DECISION Chant Engineering Company, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Link Engineering Company under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DAAEO7-02-T-0018, issued by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command for a controller system to be used with a tire test machine. We deny the protest. The RFQ was issued on July 9, 2002 as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial services under the simplified acquisition procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13 and Subpart 12.6. It sought quotations to design, fabricate, test and deliver an updated existing user-interface controller system to achieve test readiness of a tire test machine manufactured by Chant. The tire test machine is used in durability testing of various military vehicle tires. 1 The RFQ originally sought one controller system to be used with two different manufacturer brands of tire test machines, but due to funding constraints, the agency later notified vendors that it would only be purchasing a controller system for the Chant machine.
