File: B-293599 Date: April 16, 2004 Dave Poirier for the protester. Capt. Preston Young, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that issuance of purchase order was improper because awardee's engine bearing cleaning system failed to meet solicitation requirement for drying capability is denied where record shows that awardee's system in fact included drying capability. DECISION Automated Cleaning Technologies, Inc. (ACT) protests the issuance of a purchase order to Reid Asset Management Company d/b/a Magnus Equipment (Magnus) under solicitation No. FE309932759100, issued by the Department of the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command, Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, for a high-speed engine bearing cleaning system. ACT primarily argues that Magnus's system did not meet all solicitation requirements. We deny the protest. The Air Force issued the combined synopsis/solicitation as a small business set-aside on November 4, 2003. Vendors were to offer a commercial item for a self-contained cleaning system that would remove burnt carbon, grease and oils from high-speed engine bearings. The solicitation required that the system have a precision wash, rinse and drying capability and be able to demagnetize the bearings. Solicitation at 1. Award was to be made to the responsible offeror whose technically acceptable quotation, conforming to the requirements of this combined synopsis/solicitation, offers the best value to the government. Id. at 2.
