[Protests of DLA Purchase Orders for Hexagonal Nuts]

A firm protested two Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) purchase orders for hexagonal nuts, contending that the awardees were incapable of providing the goods in accordance with the applicable military specifications. GAO held that: (1) DLA determined that the awardees were responsible; and (2) the protester's allegation that the awardees would not meet requirements was a matter of contract administration, which it would not consider. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
