File: B-285366; B-285366.2 Date: August 23, 2000 David D. DiBari, Esq., William Silverman, Esq., Richard P. Ferrin, Esq., and Anthony M. Cooke, Esq., Clifford, Chance, Rogers & Wells, for the protester. Ron R. Hutchinson, Esq., and James D. Bachman, Esq., Doyle & Bachman, for Scott Aviation, an intervenor. Roger D. Waldron, Esq., General Services Administration, and John M. Davis, Esq., Veronica E. Murtha, Esq., Lisa L. Hare, Esq., Valencia L. Bowers, Esq., and Michael J. Glennon, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agencies. Christine Davis, Esq., and James Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where an agency requests competition among Federal Supply Schedule vendors and decides to shift to the vendors the burden of selecting items on which to quote, the vendors must be given sufficient detail to allow them to compete intelligently and fairly. 2. Agency reasonably declined to establish blanket purchase agreement for self-contained breathing apparatuses with a Federal Supply Schedule vendor whose offered products either did not meet the agency's stowage size requirements or were otherwise unacceptable. DECISION Draeger Safety, Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's issuance of blanket purchase agreement (BPA) No. N00024-00-A-4030, to Scott Aviation for self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBA) for use by sailors in fighting shipboard fires. The Navy established the BPA under Scott's Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. Draeger, which also has an FSS contract for SCBAs, protests that the Navy improperly determined that Draeger's equipment would not meet the Navy's needs, and that Scott's equipment was unacceptable and otherwise could not be ordered from the FSS.
