           Decision

           Matter of:  Sun Display Systems, LLC

           File:       B-411826

           Date:       November 2, 2015

           Andrew J. Mohr, Esq., Daniel Strouse, Esq., and Gabriel E. Kennon, Esq., Cohen
           Mohr LLP, for the protester.
           L. Diane Nelms, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
           Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           Protest that agency improperly permitted awardee to retain its qualification on
           qualified products list and that agency applied qualification requirements unequally is
           denied where record shows that agency administered qualification requirements
           reasonably, and that agency's management of awardee's and protester's
           qualification status was reasonably based on their different circumstances.
           DECISION

           Sun Display Systems, LLC, of Fairfield, New Jersey, a small business, protests the
           issuance of a purchase order to Airco Industries, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas, by the
           Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) under request for quotations (RFQ)
           No. SPE4A6-15-Q-1972 for six integrally-illuminated indicating panels for use in
           night-vision systems in the HH-60 Black Hawk helicopter. Sun Display argues that
           Airco was not eligible for inclusion on the qualified products list (QPL) applicable to
           the requirement and was thus ineligible for award, and that the QPL requirements
           were applied unequally to Sun Display and Airco, which Sun Display argues unfairly
           favored the awardee.


We deny the protest.
