Summary

Gentex Corporation protests the award of a contract to Federal Prison Industries (FPI) under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPM1C1-07-R-0137, issued by the Defense Supply Center, Philadelphia (DSCP), for lightweight helmets (LWH). Gentex asserts that the agency improperly failed to conduct the procurement under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, and challenges the evaluation of its and FPI's proposals.

We deny the protest.
