Carter Chevrolet Agency, Inc.

Abstract

Agency decision to use negotiation procedures in lieu of sealed bidding procedures to acquire vehicles is justified where offerors are expected to take a variety of exceptions to the specifications and discussions are necessary to resolve those matters and to define the terms of each offer. Carter Chevrolet Agency, Inc., protests the General Services Administration's (GSA) use of competitive negotiation in the procurement of cars and light trucks for the Department of Defense under request for proposals (RFP) No. FAPR-KS-82000-N. Carter contends that the vehicles should be procured by sealed bidding procedures.
