Highlights

Protest that agency denied protester reasonable opportunity to compete because the time allowed to qualify its wheel and brake assembly was insufficient is denied where the record establishes that the protester had as much time as its competitor to qualify its assembly prior to the issuance of the instant solicitation and the agency reasonably determined that it could not delay the procurement until the protester obtained source approval. Is unduly restrictive. The wheel and brake assemblies sought under the RFP are a part of the main landing gear for the aircraft. They are considered flight critical items because a failure of the wheel and brake assembly during operation of the aircraft could significantly affect flight safety.
