Question of Whether Protester Was Informed It Was Engaged in Competitive Procurement

A company protested award of a janitorial contract because it was not informed that it was engaged in competitive procurement, the Air Force failed to request the best and final offer, and the contract was awarded without adequate competition. The protester does not sustain the burden of proving its case when oral solicitation is involved. The failure to request best and final offers in writing does not provide a basis for overturning the contract.
