Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: AeroSage, LLC File: B-415893; B-415894 Date: April 17, 2018 David M. Snyder, for the protester. David W. Altieri, Esq., Donald C. Mobly, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, and Jared M. Miller, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agencies. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's decision not to award the company a contract based on the protester's response to a sources sought notice is dismissed because a sources sought notice is not a solicitation for the award of a contract. 2. Protest challenging a response time for submission of quotations of less than 1 hour is denied where emergency circumstances in connection with inclement weather warranted a short response time. DECISION AeroSage LLC, of Tampa, Florida,' protests the decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) not to award a contract based on a quotation submitted by the protester in response to a sources sought notice concerning diesel heating fuel (B-415893). The protester also challenges the response time for a request for quotations (RFQ) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for the VA's fuel requirements (B-415894). We dismiss in part and deny in part the protests. 1 The protest was filed by AeroSage, LLC, but claims that AeroSage and another firm, SageCare Inc., are both interested parties affected by the issues raised in the protests. References in this decision to the protester are to AeroSage, but our discussion on the issues refers to the interests of both AeroSage and SageCare.
