Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States / DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Futron, Inc. File: B-420703 Date: July 25, 2022 Brian A. Darst, Esq., for the protester. Colonel Frank Yoon, Major Alissa J. Schrider, Edward S. Fisher, Esq., and Major Jacquelyn C. Fiorello, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Heather Self, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency reasonably rejected protester's proposal for failing to attach certain completed representations with its cover letter where the solicitation warned offerors that failure to submit them would result in the proposal being deemed ineligible for award. 2. Protest alleging that the agency was required to refer the firm's eligibility for award to the U.S. Small Business Administration for a certificate of competency determination is denied where the agency rejected the protester's proposal for failure to submit required information, which did not constitute a responsibility-type determination. DECISION Futron, Inc., a small business of Woodbridge, Virginia, protests the rejection of its proposal under task order request for proposals (RFP) No. FA2396-22-F-0174, issued by the Department of the Air Force for aerospace structures experimental support services. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably found the firm's proposal non-compliant with the solicitation's instructions. The protester also contends that the agency was required to make a referral to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for a certificate of competency (COC) determination before rejecting Futron's proposal. We deny the protest.
