Highlights
A firm protested the Defense Personnel Support Center's rejection of its bid as nonresponsible because it failed to qualify as a regular dealer within the meaning of the Walsh-Healey Act. GAO does not consider such issues since they are by law for the contracting agency's determination, subject to final review by the Small Business Administration, where the bidder is a small business, and the Department of Labor. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
