Highlights
A protester to an anticipated contract award contended that the potential awardee was ineligible for award under provisions of the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act because it was not a dealer in the item being procured. The protest was dismissed because the question of whether a bidder is a regular dealer under the Walsh-Healey Act is for determination by the contracting agency, and an agency's determination of responsibility is not a matter for GAO review under the circumstances presented.
