  1. DLA HAVE VIOLATED FAR AND SMALLL BUSINESS ACT RICARDO SACIDOR VIOLATED HIS DUTY AS SBA REPRESENTATIVE BY WRITING AN ILLEGAL BLANKET DD FORM 2579

  2. Latvian Connection LLC Al Shareefa Complex – 5th FL Kuwait City, Kuwait Tel: 707 385 9344 September 24, 2015 BY REGISTERED EMAIL Matthew T. Crosby Government Accounting Office 441 G Street, NW Washington DC 20548 Email: Protests@gao.gov Attn: Procurement Law Control Group, Room 1139 RE: AGENCY REPORT RESPONSE TO B-411936 DLA SOLICITATION No SPE8ED15Q0573 FAILING TO SET ASIDE SOLICITATION WITH VALUE OF $ 3,000 - $ 150,000 FAILING TO PROVIDE SOLE BRAND JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL Dear Mr. Crosby: Latvian Connection LLC, (“ LC LLC”) A U.S. SMALL BUSINESS SAM REGISTERED with DUNS 534749622 and CAGE SGM59, submits this Agency Report response to the Defense Logistics Agency report regarding DLA not setting aside solicitation for U.S. Small Businesses exclusively and violating the Small Business Act. State argues that the GAO decision of Latvian Connection General Trading and Construction LLC, B-408633, Sept. 18, 2013 CPD ¶ 224, applies here. In that case, GAO ruled that FAR 19.000(b) limits the application of FAR part 19 (dealing with SBA’s small business programs) to acquisitions conducted in the United States (and its outlying areas). We believe the basis for the GAO’s ruling was that SBA’s regulation were silent on this issue and therefore, the more specific far regulations controlled. Heeding this advice, the SBA recently promulgated regulations to address this issue. Specifically, SBA made wholesale changes to 13 CFR § 125.2 on October 2, 2013. As a result, SBA issued a final rule stating that: “Small business concerns must receive any award ( including orders, and orders placed against Multiple Award Contracts) or contract, part of any such award or contract, and any contract for the sale of Government property, regardless of the place of performance, which the SBA and the procuring or disposal agency determine to be in the interest of:” 13 C.F.R. § 125.2(a)(emphasis added). Likewise, the rule also states that: “Small Business Act requires each Federal agency to foster the participation of small business concerns as prime contractors and subcontractors in the contracting opportunities of the Government regardless of the place of performance of the contract.” Id. 125.2 (c)(emphasis added). Therefore, SBA’s policy and legal interpretation of the Small Business has been incorporated into the regulations. In sum, according to statute and regulations, small business set asides, regardless of place of performance, are mandatory for acquisitions valued from $ 3,000 to $ 150,000 We request you invite the SBA to comment please. Additionally, there is no Justification and Approval for a Sole Brand or Sole Source DLA has failed to utilize the DD Form 2579 in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations requirement that: (A) Reviewing and making recommendations for all acquisitions (including orders placed against Federal Supply Schedule contracts) over $10,000, except those under the simplified acquisition threshold that are totally set aside for small business concerns in accordance with FAR 19.502-2. Follow the procedures at PGI 219.201(c)(10) (DFARS/PGI view) regarding such reviews. RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  3. 2 | P a g e DLA has attempted to utilize an outdated DD Form 2579 that never could have been a Blanket Exemption from complying with the Competition in Contracting Act or the Small Business Act. The FAR doesn’t give the option to issue a Blanket DD Form 2579, so this TAB 3 DD Form is illegal, demonstrates that the Blanket is illegal and doesn’t comply with the purpose of the Form to look at each acquisition. A new DD Form 2579 (ATTCH 10 ) replaced TAB 3 on August 1, 2015 and it renders DLA’s attempt to circumvent the Competition in Contracting Act and Small Business Act as incomplete. FAR 219.201 was violated as there was not an individual DD Form 2579 completed and this solicitation was not set aside for Small Businesses. DLA did not post on the Government Point of Entry ( ATTCH 3 ) the specifications for the solicitation. FEDERAL LOGISTICS INFORMATION SYSTEM and HAYSTACK Database does not comply with the requirement to post the specifications for a solicitation with a value of greater than $ 25,000 on the GPE. DLA appear to have a DD Form 2579 partially filled out that claims to be a Blanket ( ATTCH 9 ) pre-signed on October 9, 2014 for a solicitation that didn’t appear until August 13, 2015. This violates the General Policy regarding the Small Business Coordination Record. 219.201 General policy. (c) For the defense agencies, the director of the Office of Small Business Programs must be appointed by, be responsible to, and report directly to the director or deputy director of the defense agency. (8) The responsibility for assigning small business technical advisors is delegated to the head of the contracting activity. (10) Contracting activity small business specialists perform this function by— (A) Reviewing and making recommendations for all acquisitions (including orders placed against Federal Supply Schedule contracts) over $10,000, except those under the simplified acquisition threshold that are totally set aside for small business concerns in accordance with FAR 19.502-2. Follow the procedures at PGI 219.201(c)(10) (DFARS/PGI view) regarding such reviews. (B) Making the review before issuance of the solicitation or contract modification and documenting it on DD Form 2579, Small Business Coordination Record (seePGI 253.219-70 for instructions on completing the form); and (C) Referring recommendations that have been rejected by the contracting officer to the Small Business Administration (SBA) procurement center representative. If an SBA procurement center representative is not assigned, see FAR 19.402(a). (11) Also conduct annual reviews to assess— (A) The extent of consolidation of contract requirements that has occurred (see 207.170); and (B) The impact of those consolidations on the availability of small business concerns to participate in procurements as both contractors and subcontractors. (d) For information on the appointment and functions of small business specialists, see PGI 219.201(d) (DFARS/PGI view). RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  4. 3 | P a g e DLA state: ATTCH 3 B-411489 As stated above, the Army failed to meet its obligation to publicize the issuance of RFP For the record, we also disagree with the Army’s argument that the protester had constructive knowledge of amendment No. 4 as of April 28, the date the agency posted amendment No. 4 on the AFSI website. The AFSI website is not a government-wide point of entry (GPE) designated for the publication of solicitations. Instead, FedBizOpps has been designated as the GPE--that is, the single point where government business opportunities greater than $25,000 (such as the solicitation here), including synopses of proposed contract actions, solicitations, and associated information, can be accessed electronically by the public. FAR §§ 5.101, 5.101(a)(1), 5.102.4 While offerors are charged with constructive notice of procurement actions published on the GPE, Latvian Connection did not have constructive notice in this instance because AFSI is not the GPE. DIBBS is not the GPE for a solicitation with a value of greater than $ 25,000 The fraudulent DLA DD Form 2579 was not issued by the SBA for this solicitation No SPE8ED15Q0573. DLA has fabricated a DD Form 2579 not based on the solicitation, but based on a blanket effort to disenfranchise U.S. Small Businesses and Veteran Owned Small Business, Latvian Connection LLC. DLA state: RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  5. 4 | P a g e In preparing a solicitation, a contracting agency is generally required to specify its needs and solicit offers in a manner designed to achieve full and open competition, so that all responsible sources are permitted to compete. 41 U.S.C. § 3306(a)(1)(A) (2012). A solicitation may include restrictive provisions or conditions only to the extent necessary to satisfy the agency’s needs or as authorized by law. Id. § 3306(a)(2)(B). To the extent a protester challenges a specification as unduly restrictive, that is, challenges both the restrictive nature of the requirement as well as the agency’s need for the restriction, the procuring agency has the responsibility of establishing that the specification is reasonably necessary to meet its needs. The adequacy of the agency’s justification is ascertained through examining whether the agency’s explanation is reasonable, that is, whether the explanation can withstand logical scrutiny. Trident World Sys., Inc., B- 400901, Feb. 23, 2009, 2009 CPD ¶ 43 at 3. DLA failed to provide specifications or promote full and open competition among U.S. Small Businesses. DLA instead fabricated a SBA blanket document that does not meet the purpose of a DD Form 2579 according to the Federal Acquisition Regulations or Policy. DLA failed to utilize the newly issued DD Form 2579 and did not present this solicitation to the Small Business Administration. They instead try to pass off that the SBA did review this acquisition when clearly the SBA did not look at this and DLA has tried to pencil-whip an approval of the SBA when they have no such approval at all. DLA state This is inconsistent with the requirements of posting salient characteristics and specifications. DLA should be issuing a solicitation as Brand Name or Equal or issue a Justification and Approval for Sole Source and Sole Brand. DLA violated the Competition in Contracting Act. The Competition In Contracting Act (CICA) makes full and open procurement as the standard for most contracting opportunities. Before CICA many Federal contracts were not competed but awarded based more on who you knew within the government. General The Competition In Contracting Act (CICA) was passed into law in 1984 to foster competition and thus reduce costs. The theory was that more competition for procurements would reduce costs and allow more small businesses to win contracts. CICA requires almost all procurements to be competed as full and open so any qualified company can submit a proposal. Provisions CICA requires all procurements with an estimated value over $25,000 be advertised for at least 15 days on FBO. The solicitation on FBO also requires use of a standard format making it easier for companies to review. The solicitation is to be posted for at least 30 days before proposal are due. If the contracting officer decides not to make the procurement full and open (also known as unrestricted) then they have to document the reasons for the decision. Procurements can still be set-aside for small businesses, disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone and veteran owned businesses but market research is needed to document that at least two responsible sources are available within the set-aside market. A responsible source is defined in CICA as a company that meets the following:  Financial resources required to complete the contract if awarded  Has the ability to meet the delivery schedule  Has a satisfactory performance record  Has a satisfactory record of business ethics (no government contracting RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  6. 5 | P a g e  Has or can obtain the technical, accounting and management skills needed to complete the contract  Has the equipment or production capability needed or can obtain it  Qualified to obtain the contract under applicable laws and regulations CICA also establishes procedures for filing protests when errors in procurement are suspected. The protest has to be documented and filed with the GAO before the contract is awarded. GAO then has 90 days to investigate and issue a ruling. A variety of procurement methods can be used to meet CICA requirements. These methods include: Justification For Not Using Full and Open Contracting officers must document any procurement that will not be by full and open competition. Knowing what the contracting officer needs to document can help you understand the process. The justification has to include:  Description of the procuring agencies needs  What statute or regulation is being used for the other than full and open competition and why has this regulation been selected  What is the anticipated cost of the procurement  Market survey showing the targeted set-aside group has at least two responsible bidders  What companies have expressed interest in the procurement in writing. This is normally from a sources sought release.  A statement as to any actions to be taken in the future to remove barriers to unrestricted competition. Knowing the rules regarding procurements allows you to not only understand the procurement process but also see when the rules are not followed. If you lose a procurement and are determining whether to file a protest then you must know the provisions of CICA. DLA failed to set aside a solicitation that they acknowledge has a value of $ 44,000 State argues that the GAO decision of Latvian Connection General Trading and Construction LLC, B-408633, Sept. 18, 2013 CPD ¶ 224, applies here. In that case, GAO ruled that FAR 19.000(b) limits the application of FAR part 19 (dealing with SBA’s small business programs) to acquisitions conducted in the United States (and its outlying areas). We believe the basis for the GAO’s ruling was that SBA’s regulation were silent on this issue and therefore, the more specific far regulations controlled.

Therefore, SBA’s policy and legal interpretation of the Small Business has been incorporated into the regulations. In sum, according to statute and regulations, small business set asides, regardless of place of performance, are mandatory for acquisitions valued from $ 3,000 to $ 150,000 ( ATTCH 2 ) DLA VIOLATED CICA Of course SESOLINC was the only company to submit a bid. DLA has bid-rigged this so that only this company could respond. Latvian has put forward a teaming partner and DLA should have looked at the on Federal Government approved database for NAICS and that is SAM.gov ATTCH 7 to see the NAICS associated with Marafie Kuwaitia. We also have another RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  7. 6 | P a g e company that we bid with that has experience and that is Al Zoba. The Non Manufacturer rule doesn’t apply because IF we had the specifications and salient characteristics being withheld by DLA, we would have constructed this in Kuwait. DLA MADE A NEGATIVE DETERMINATION AND VIOLATED SBA CERTIFICATE OF COMPETENCY PROCESS DLA violated the SBA’s Authority to review RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  8. 7 | P a g e B-410947 Under the Small Business Act, agencies may not find a small business nonresponsible without referring the matter to the SBA, which has the ultimate authority to determine the responsibility of small businesses under its COC B-410263, Nov. 26, 2014, 2014 CPD ¶ 344 at 6-7. In this regard, the Small Business Act provides that it is the SBA’s duty: To certify to Government procurement officers . . . with respect to all elements of responsibility, including, but not limited to, capability, competency, capacity, credit, integrity, perseverance, and tenacity, of any small business concern or group of such concerns to receive and perform a specific Government contract. 15 U.S.C. § 637(b)(7)(A) (emphasis added). Importantly, this section of the Act also provides that a “Government procurement officer . . . may not, for any reason specified in the preceding sentence preclude any small business concern or group of such concerns from being awarded such contract without referring the matter for a final disposition to the Administration.” Id. B-410981 Protest is sustained where FedBid, acting as the agent for the contracting agency, excluded the protester, a small business, from the competition based on a perceived lack of business integrity, in effect making a negative responsibility determination, without referring the matter to the Small Business Administration under the Certificate of Competency procedures. The solicitation, issued on December 11, 2014, and set aside for small businesses, sought a contractor to provide fabrication and installation of a high-density mobile shelving system to replace the current steel cantilever shelving at the U.S. Geological Survey’s library in Denver, Colorado. Agency Report (AR), Tab 5, RFQ, at 1; see Contracting Officer’s Statement (COS) at 1. The estimated value of the procurement was $95,159. COS at 1. Under our Bid Protest Regulations, we will only consider protests filed by an “interested party,” that is, an actual or prospective offeror whose direct economic interest would be affected by the award of a contract or the failure to award a contract. 4 C.F.R. §21.0(a). Determining whether a party is interested involves consideration of a variety of factors, including the nature of the issues raised, the benefit or relief sought by the protester, and the party’s status in relation to the procurement. Advanced Concept Enterprises, Inc., B-410069.3, B-410069.4 Jan. 22, 2015, 2015 CPD ¶ 53 at 2. Here, we find that Latvian Connection has sufficiently established its status as an interested party. As we noted in our prior decision, under the Small Business Act, agencies may not find a small business nonresponsible without referring the matter to the SBA, which has the ultimate authority to determine the responsibility of small businesses under its COC procedures. 15 U.S.C. § 637(b)(7); FAR subpart 19.6; Latvian Connection, LLC, supra; FitNet Purchasing Alliance, B-410263, Nov, 26, 2014, 2014 CPD ¶ 344 at 6-7. In this regard, the Small Business Act provides that it is the SBA’s duty: To certify to Government procurement officers . . . with respect to all elements of responsibility, including, but not limited to, capability, competency, capacity, credit, integrity, perseverance, and tenacity, of any small business concern or group of such concerns to receive and perform a specific Government contract. 15 U.S.C. § 637(b)(7)(A) (emphasis added).

RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  9. 8 | P a g e DLA stated: LATVIAN CONNECTION LLC WOULD HAVE CONSTRUCTED THE CONTAINER IN KUWAIT with teaming partners as afforded by FAR 9.6. ( ATTCH 7 AND 8 ) DLA made a negative determination that we could not bid in its agency report and this would be a matter that would have to be referred to the Small Business Administration for a Certificate of Competency. DLA judge out teaming partner without consulting the SAM database for their experience. DLA violated the SBA rules that they must set aside all solicitations with a value of between $ 3,000 and $ 150,000. State argues that the GAO decision of Latvian Connection General Trading and Construction LLC, B-408633, Sept. 18, 2013 CPD ¶ 224, applies here. In that case, GAO ruled that FAR 19.000(b) limits the application of FAR part 19 (dealing with SBA’s small business programs) to acquisitions conducted in the United States (and its outlying areas).

  10. 9 | P a g e Request of a ruling by the Comptroller General of the United States LATVIAN CONNECTION LLC specifically requests that the GAO recommend that the solicitation SPE8ED15Q0573 be conducted as a Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable solicitation on www.fbo.gov and be reserved for U.S. Small Businesses exclusively. We also request that drawings, technical specifications, and salient characteristics are posted. This should be brand name or equal or DLA should post a J & A as to why this one company should be awarded this contract without competition. This solicitation is defective and violates the Competition in Contracting Act, the Small Business Act and the Federal Acquisition Regulations regarding elements of a solicitation and the salient characteristics and this solicitation lacks specifications. REQUEST FOR HEARING OR CONFERENCE AND PROTECTIVE ORDER If the issues in this case cannot be resolved on the basis of the documents requested, then LATVIAN CONNECTION LLC requests a hearing on all of the matters set forth above. 4 C.F.R. § 21.1 (d)(2008). Latvian Connection LLC does not request a protective order. GAO - WE EXPRESSLY REQUEST THAT THIS PROTEST NOT BE EXPIDITED. REQUEST FOR RELIEF AND CONCLUSION LATVIAN CONNECTION LLC requests that the Agency take corrective action and issue an Amendment, that is posted on www.fbo.gov and that this solicitation as a Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable solicitation that is reserved for U.S. Small Business concerns exclusively. We also request that Latvian Connection LLC be reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing its protest, including reasonable protest preparation fees. Bid Protest Regulations 4 C.F.R. § 21.8(d)(1) (2010). Under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984, the GAO may recommend that protest costs be reimbursed where they find that an agency’s action violated a procurement statute or regulation. 31 U.S.C. § 3554(c)(1) (2010). The GAO’s Bid Protest Regulations provide that, where the contracting agency decides to take corrective action in response to a protest, the GAO may recommend that the protester be reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing its protest, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. 4 C.F.R. § 21.8(e) (2010). The GAO has stated that it “does not mean that costs should be reimbursed in every case in which an agency decides to take corrective action; rather, a protester should be reimbursed its costs where an agency unduly delayed its decision to take corrective action in the face of a clearly meritorious protest. Griner’s-A-One Pipeline Servs., Inc.--Costs, B-255078.3, July 22, 1994, 94-2 CPD ¶ 41 at 5. The Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA)[i] provides for the award of attorney fees and other expenses to eligible individuals and small entities who are parties to certain adversary adjudications in administrative proceedings. An eligible party may receive an award when the party prevails over the government, unless the government’s position was substantially justified or special circumstances make an award unjust. Fee provided under the EAJA is limited to $125 per hour. The EAJA applies to adversary adjudications pending or commenced on or after August 5, 1985. RESPONSE TO AGENCY REPORT B-411936 DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY

  11. 10 | P a g e To recover fee under the EAJA, a claimant must show that s/he is a prevailing party. Prevailing party is one who achieves the benefits s/he sought. To obtain fee under the EAJA a party must also show that: the lawsuit was a material factor in bringing about the desired result;  the outcome was required by law; and  decision was not a gratuitous act by the government.  If, in adversary adjudication arising from an agency action the demand by the agency is found substantially in excess of the decision of the adjudicative officer and is unreasonable when compared with the decision, the adjudicative officer shall award to the party the fees and other expenses against the excessive demand. To claim award under the EAJA party need not have committed a willful violation of law or otherwise acted in bad faith. Award granted should not be unjust in any circumstances. Fees and expenses awarded shall be paid only as a consequence of appropriations provided in advance.[ii] Fees and other expenses under the EAJA include: the reasonable expenses of expert witnesses:  the reasonable cost of any study, analysis, engineering report, test, or project which is found by the agency to be  necessary for the preparation of the party’s case; and reasonable attorney’s or agent fees.[iii]  Every party other than an agency who participated in adversary adjudication can recover attorney’s fee and agent fee. Party represented by a non attorney is also permitted under the EAJA to recover fee. Award provided under the EAJA is mandatory and the agency has no discretion to deny attorney fee provided s/he complies all the requirements under the EAJA. However certain state laws also authorizes the recovery of reasonable attorney fees. N.D. Cent. Code § 28-32-50(1) requires an award of reasonable attorney fees and costs to a prevailing claimant if an administrative agency has acted without substantial justification. N.D. Cent. Code § 28-32-50(1) sets forth a two-part test which must be met in order to properly award attorney fees: first, the non administrative party must prevail, and second, the agency must have acted without substantial justification.[iv] [i] 5 U.S.C. § 504; 28 U.S.C. § 2412; [ii] 5 U.S.C.A. § 504(a)(4) ; [iii] 5 U.S.C.A. § 504(b)(1)(A); [iv] 5 U.S.C.A. § 504(b)(1)(A), Tedford v.
