Failure of "Nonresponsible" Bidder To File Certificate of Competency Application With Small Business Administration

A small business bidder, rejected as nonresponsible, was required to file a Certificate of Competency (COC) with the Small Business Administration (SBA). It is the responsibility of the small business firm concerned to file a complete and acceptable COC application with the SBA and to accept this protection that SBA affords. Since this was not done, GAO will not review the case.
