44-Minute Solicitation Response Time Deemed Reasonable for Government’s Emergency Fuel Needs; GAO B-415893, AeroSage LLC

Protest challenging the agency’s award of a contact for emergency fuel delivery is denied, where the protester unreasonably misinterpreted a source sought notice as a solicitation and therefore failed to respond to the actual solicitation; and where the agency reasonably set a brief response time based on its urgent need and was able to obtain adequate competition.
