B-195105 1 (1980-01-29)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadhyf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: B-195105 DATE: January 29, 1980 McNab, Incorporated C- Protest that company's allegedly deficient product should be elimi- nated from consideration under RFP is dismissed as academic, since company was not sucessful offeror and another company that was did not offer that product. McNab, Inc., has protested that Beckman Instruments, Inc., salinity cells should be eliminated from consid- eration under RFP N00104-79-R-YU30 issued by the Navy Sh' Parts Control Center because McNab's test- ing of the product indicates it is not meeting Navy requirements and McNab surmises that the Navy's increase in the quantity of cells being procured is attributable to this deficiency. While the protest was pending, offers were received from three offerors. Beckman was not the low offeror. I5o Marine Electric RPD, Inc., which offered its own part, qadltne lowest acceptable offer. . Thus, it is academic whether the Beckman cell should have been eliminated from competition. There- fore, we will not consider that issue. However, we note that the Navy intends in the future to investi- gate defective cell reports from private sources within its funding limits and to issue a specifica- tion for subsequent procurements of salinity cells which will provide for Government testing of the cells instead of the current Government-supervised contractor testing. The change in procedures may eliminate the problem McNab has presented. ) Oor~-\f~~L4I+e)/2 S fI'0 FILE: MATTER OF: DIGEST: 01,LER (z THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION .
