          File:        B-405800

          Date:        December 27, 2011

          Bob McDonough for the protester.
          Elizabeth Rose, for Chinrose International, the intervenor.
          Thomas Dougherty, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
          Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

          DIGEST

          1. Protest that a delivery order was issued to a vendor that would not provide a
          domestic end item is denied where the agency reasonably relied upon the vendor's
          certification that it would provide a domestic part in the absence of any information
          to the contrary.

          2. Protest that an agency extended the required delivery schedule in its issuance of
          an order is denied where the protester does not show that it was competitively
          prejudiced.
          DECISION

          Pacific Lock Company of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, protests the issuance of a
          delivery order to Chinrose International, of Cornelius, Oregon, under request for
          quotations (RFQ) No. SPM5L2-11-Q-1172, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency
          (DLA), for 6,000 padlock sets.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          On April 20, 2011, DLA issued solicitation SPM5L2-11-Q-0706, as a small business
          set-aside, for the issuance of a fixed-price delivery order for 7,500 padlock sets.
          Legal Memorandum at 1. The agency did not issue an order under that solicitation,
          but re-issued the solicitation on July 12 as an unrestricted procurement. Id. Pacific
