INTERNATIONAL WASTE INDUSTRIES:
INTERNATIONAL WASTE INDUSTRIES PROTESTS THAT THE AWARDEE UNDER DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY CONTRACT NO. N62467-83-C-0015 IS NOT PERFORMING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS. THIS ALLEGATION APPEARS TO BE BASED UPON THE PROTESTER'S BELIEF THAT THE AWARDEE'S SUPPLIER'S PRODUCT DOES NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS. IN RESPONSE TO THIS ALLEGATION, THE NAVY REPORTS THAT THE AWARDEE'S BID WAS RESPONSIVE AND, IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE SPECIFICATION, IT IS REQUIRING A FACTORY INSPECTION OF THE SUPPLIER'S PRODUCT BEFORE SHIPMENT.
IN ANY EVENT, THIS ALLEGATION CONCERNS A MATTER OF CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION WHICH MUST BE RESOLVED BY THE CONTRACTING AGENCY RATHER THAN BY GAO UNDER OUR BID PROTEST PROCEDURES. GULF SYSTEMS, INC., B-210080, JANUARY 6, 1983, 83-1 CPD 12. CONSEQUENTLY, WE WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PROTEST ON ITS MERITS.
THE PROTEST IS DISMISSED.
