Date:       May 20, 2020

C. Chad Gill, for the protester.
Sheryl L. Rakestraw, Esq., and Brian A. Quint, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the
agency.
Lois Hanshaw, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,

DIGEST

Protest that the awardee's proposal was unacceptable because the awardee's
registration in the System for Award Management was inaccurate is denied where there
is no basis to conclude that the protester was prejudiced by the agency's alleged waiver
of the registration requirements.
DECISION

Phoenix Environmental Design Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business
of West Richland, Washington, protests the award of a contract to Alligare LLC, of
Opelika, Alabama, on a sole-source basis, under solicitation No. DOIAFBO200034,
issued by the Department of the Interior, for distribution of Magnacide H, an aquatic
herbicide. Phoenix contends that award to Alligare is improper because its System for
Award Management (SAM) registration contains incorrect information.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

On January 2, 2020, the agency issued a sources sought notice seeking responses
from qualified vendors authorized to distribute Magnacide H for canal and irrigation
