Highlights
A firm protested a Navy contract award, contending that the awardee was not responsible. GAO noted that contracting officers must determine that a prospective contractor is responsible before award is made. GAO does not, therefore, review an affirmative determination of responsibility except in circumstances involving fraud or bad faith, neither of which was alleged in this case. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
