Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc. File: B-417628; B-417628.2; B-417628.3 Date: September 9, 2019 Neil H. O'Donnell, Esq., Jeffery M. Chiow, Esq., and Lucas T. Hanback, Esq., Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, PC, for the protester. Carla J. Weiss, Esq., and Matthew L. Haws, Esq., Jenner & Block LLP, for General Dynamics-Ordnance and Tactical Systems, for the intervenor. Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., and Alyssa M. Carr, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Lois Hanshaw, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Sole-source award for a follow-on procurement contract for the continued development of a complex weapon system is unobjectionable where the agency reasonably determined that award to any other source would likely cause unacceptable delay in fulfilling the agency's requirements. DECISION DRS Sustainment System (DRS), of St. Louis, Missouri, protests a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to General Dynamics-Ordnance and Tactical Systems (General Dynamics), of Williston, Vermont, pursuant to solicitation No. W56HZV-19-R- 0063, issued by the Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command, for an active protection system (APS) and associated hardware for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (Bradley).1 The protester challenges the basis for the sole-source award and contends that the agency imposed a pre-award qualification requirement and failed to engage in advance planning. 1 The Bradley is a medium-weight, lightly armored combat vehicle designed to transport infantry or scouts with armor protection while providing covering fire to suppress enemy troops.
