handle is hein.gao/gaocrptappl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General SIntegrity Reliability of the United States ~ccountabthty Inert Rea iy United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Transcontinental Enterprises, Inc. File: B-294765 Date: November 30, 2004 Heath Carroll, Esq., Dixon, Doub, Conner & Foster, for the protester. Brian Koji, Esq., Allen, Norton & Blue, for Call Henry, Inc., an intervenor. Anthony G. Beyer, Esq., Environmental Protection Agency, for the agency. Edward Goldstein, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging an agency's affirmative determination of the awardee's responsibility on the ground that the contracting officer failed to consider the fact that the awardee did not possess a North Carolina unlimited general contractor's license at the time of award, and could not likely obtain the required license in a timely manner, if at all, is dismissed where the record shows that the license was not required to perform most of the work called for under the solicitation, if any work at all; thus, information regarding the awardee's ability to obtain the license is not the type of information that would be expected to have a strong bearing on the awardee's responsibility, and, as a result, an allegation that the agency failed to consider such information is not sufficient to trigger review by GAO of the agency's affirmative responsibility determination. DECISION Transcontinental Enterprises, Inc. protests the agency's decision to award a contract to Call Henry, Inc., pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. PR-NC-03-10653, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for facilities management and support services for its Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, facilities. The protester challenges the agency's affirmative determination of Call Henry's responsibility. We dismiss the protest. On January 29, 2004, the agency issued the subject solicitation as a small business set-aside for the provision of all facilities support services at various EPA facilities
