 MATTER OFYoder Brake and Manufacturing Company


 DIGEST:

     Protest that agency will not include pro-
     tester's equipment on approved source list
     is dismissed as academic because agency
     reports that it is currently considering
     protester's test data for possible inclusion
     of its equipment on the approved source-
     list.


     Yoder Brake & Manufacturing Co. complaVn4g that the
Air Force has discriminated against that firm in its. -  /
effort to become an approved source for the Air Force
MHU-14/munitions trailer §urge brake.

     Yoder states that its president is the inventor,
designer and original manufacturer of the surge brake but
that it has been unable to obtain approved source status
and therefore is unable to compete for Government
contracts.

     In response, the Air Force reports that it advised
Yoder that it will consider that firm for. source approval
if Yoder provides testing and engineering data which demon-
strates that its product will meet agency requirements. We
have been advised that Yoder has supplied data which is
currently being evaluated by the agency.

     Since the Air Force is currently considering Yoder
for inclusion on its qualified source list, its protest is
academic.

     The protest is dismissed.
