Summary

Native American Industrial Distributors, Inc. (NAID), a small business, protests the award of a contract to Chenega Federal Systems, LLC, by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), under request for proposals (RFP) No. RBK00070010 for information technology infrastructure services. NAID objects that the contract award was improperly made to a firm that does not meet the requirements of the Buy Indian Act, 25 U.S.C. 47, and that the agency overlooked the omission of required letters of commitment from the Chenega proposal that should have rendered the proposal unacceptable.

We sustain the protest.
