File: B-276999.2 Date: October 21, 1997 Sam Z. Gdanski, Esq., for the protester. Richard D. Lieberman, Esq., Sullivan & Worcester, for Block Management, Inc., an interveno r. Col. Nicholas P. Retson and Capt. Philip T. McCaffrey, Department of the Army, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Glenn Wolcott, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting officer properly rejected the protester's bid as nonresponsive where the invitation for bids (IFB) required the submission of the manufacturer's name and model number for the washers and dryers to be supplied under the solicitation in order to establish that a bidder's specifically identified equipment would satisfy the IFB's listed requirements and the protester did not identify in its bid the specific washers being offered. DECISION Contract Lease Management, Inc. (CLMI) protests the rejection of its bid as nonresponsive under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DAIF48-97-B-0006, issued by the Department of the Army for the purchase of washers and the lease of dryers for installation at various locations at Fort Hood, Texas, and the subsequent conversion of the IFB to a request for proposals (RFP). We deny the protest. The IFB, issued April 15, 1997, was for the purchase of top-loading horizontal-axis (h-axis) clothes washing machines and the lease of four types of clothes drying machines,1 along with associated maintenance and repair services. The solicitation contemplated the award of an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for a 1-year base period with four 1-year options. Under the terms of the IFB, the agency reserved the right to make two separate awards, one for the washers and one for the dryers. 1The four types of dryers were single load electric dryers, single load gas dryers, double load gas dryers, and stacked double load gas dryers.
