Protests against Responsibility Determination, Preaward Survey, Waiver of First Article Testing, Defective Supplies, and Subsequent Untimely Issues

A protest was made to the award of three contracts to other bidders, and, most importantly, to the finding that is was nonresponsible and was not allowed a preaward survey. No objection was found to agency's determination of nonresponsibility; consequently, a preaward survey was not required. Referral to the Small Business Administration was not required, as certificate of urgency had been duly executed. Protest of other bidder's responsibility was not for consideration. Protests against other bidders were untimely. (DJM)
