handle is hein.gao/gaocrptamnn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1G A O0 Comptroller General Accountability* Integrity* Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: IPI Graphics File: B-286830; B-286838 Date: January 9, 2001 Frederic G. Antoun, Jr., Esq., for the protester. Roy E. Potter, Esq., Government Printing Office, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined that protester was nonresponsible based upon conclusion that protester lacked the capability necessary to perform the contract where protester failed to demonstrate or provide sufficient evidence to show that it has adequate production controls and quality assurance methods to satisfy the quality requirements of the contracts. DECISION IPI Graphics, Inc. protests the determinations by the Government Printing Office (GPO) that it is nonresponsible under two invitations for bids (IFB) designated as programs Nos. B315-S and C518-S, for various publications for the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Department of the Interior. IPI argues that the nonresponsibility determinations lack a reasonable basis. We deny the protests. Both IFBs contemplated the award of a fixed-price requirements contract for the required printing services. Under program No. B315-S, the contractor is to provide booklets, guide books, and handbooks, estimated at between 2,000 to 40,000 copies per order from November 1, 2000 through October 31, 2001. Under program No. C518-S, the contractor is to provide estimated quantities ranging from 12,000 to 15,000 of a booklet titled Humanities, on a bi-monthly basis from December 1, 2000 through November 30, 2001.
