DIGEST
1. Protest of proposed sole-source contract to the incumbent contractor for the
production of automated testing equipment is dismissed as untimely where the protest
was filed more than 10 days after the agency posted a notice, which did not request
responses from other potential sources, stating its intention to enter into the sole-source
contract on the basis that the incumbent was the only source able to meet the agency's
requirements without unacceptable delays.
2. Supplemental protests challenging the justification and approval in support of the
agency's notice of intent to issue a sole-source contract to the incumbent contractor
based on only one responsible source capable of meeting agency's requirements for
highly specialized equipment without unacceptable delays are found to be without merit.
DECISION
Tyonek Engineering and Agile Manufacturing, LLC, of Madison, Alabama, protests the
intended sole-source award of a contract to The Boeing Company, of St. Louis,
Missouri, under sole-source award notice No. W15QKN21 R0083, issued by the
Department of the Army, Army Materiel Command, for the supply of Next Generation
Automated Test Systems (NGATS). Tyonek contends that the intended sole-source
contract award to Boeing is improper and, among other things, is the result of a lack of
advance planning on the part of the contracting agency.
