Matter of:   Dehler Manufacturing Company, Inc.

File:        B-416819; B-416819.2

Date:        December 19, 2018

Kristi Morgan Aronica, Esq., and Mark A. Weitz, Esq., Weitz Morgan PLLC, for the
protester.
James W. Kim, Esq., and Llewelyn M. Engel, Esq., McDermott Will & Emery LLP, for
the intervenor.
Garry L. Brewer, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Agency reasonably evaluated protester's quotation as unacceptable with regard to
past performance, where information in the past performance information retrieval
system established that protester's performance under four recent contracts had been

protester's responsibility in connection with the placement of a task order under the
Federal Supply Schedule is denied; while an agency is not required to make a new
responsibility determination in a task order procurement conducted pursuant to Federal
Acquisition Regulation subpart 8.4, it is not precluded from doing so.

3. Protest record fails to provide an adequate basis for Government Accountability
Office to consider protester's challenge to the Small Business Administration's denial of
a certificate of competency.
