This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: United Airlines, Inc. File: B-411987; B-411987.3 Date: November 30, 2015 Daniel R. Forman, Esq., Gerald F. Murphy, Esq., Lorraine M. Campos, Esq., Marc L. Warren, Esq., James G. Peyster, Esq., and Steven J. Seiden, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. Reese Davidson, Esq., Evelyn D. Sahr, Esq., Drew Derco, Esq., Edward Longosz, Esq., and Mark Johnston, Esq., Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC, for the intervenor. Danielle K. Muenzfeld, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Cherie J. Owen, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST The General Services Administration's determination that award to a U.S. flag air carrier for a flight route to be performed by a foreign airline under a code-share agreement, where the tickets will be issued under the U.S. carrier's designator code and flight number, does not violate the Fly America Act, is unobjectionable under GSA's implementing regulations. DECISION United Airlines, Inc., of Chicago, Illinois, protests the award of a contract to JetBlue Airways Corporation, of Long Island City, New York, under request for proposals (RFP) No. QMACB-KB-150001-N, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Acquisition Service, for airline passenger transportation services, known as the City Pair Program. United contends that JetBlue's proposal was ineligible for award because it violates various laws and failed to comply with the solicitation. United also contends that the agency improperly failed to conduct discussions and failed to sufficiently document its selection decision. We deny the protest.
