About this file
This file is a bid protest letter submitted by Capital X-Ray, Inc. to the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) of the State of Georgia regarding RFQ# 41500-TCS0000160 for a Carestream DRX Revolution Mobile X-Ray System. The protest, filed on March 8, 2022, challenges the award to GE Walker based on alleged non-compliance with bid specifications. Capital X-Ray contends that GE Walker's proposal failed to include a required line item—a two handle port grid and holder with specifications of 103 LPI 6:1 40-72 Fd 130 Cm—as mandated in the bid specifications. The solicitation, issued by the Technical College System of Georgia on behalf of Wiregrass Georgia Technical College, sought an authorized supplier to provide the specified mobile x-ray system for the institution's Radiologic Technology Program. The bid was cancelled as of April 30, 2022.
Capital X-Ray further alleges that GE Walker's proposal failed to comply with pricing and delivery terms required by the bid specifications. Specifically, the protest identifies two violations: GE Walker's proposal excluded applicable sales tax and shipping/handling charges, contrary to the requirement that all bids include these costs, and the proposal designated FOB (Free on Board) as "Manufacturer (OEM)" instead of the required "FOB Point of Destination." Capital X-Ray requests that GE Walker's proposal be declared non-compliant and remedial action be taken. The protester provided supporting documentation including marked copies of the bid specifications and GE Walker's proposal highlighting the areas of non-compliance.

To Whom It May Concern:
Capital X-Ray would like to formally file a protest regarding the awarding of RFQ# 41500-TCS0000160 based on the following:
According to your bid specifications, the proposal should include a “two handle port grid and holder 103 LPI 6:1 40-72 Fd 130 Cm.” The proposal supplied by GE Walker does not include that line item. In addition, all bids were to include shipping/delivery and, were shipping charges applicable, they were to be assessed as “FOB Point of Destination.” The GE Walker proposal clearly states that the pricing “does not include any applicable sales tax, shipping/handling charges.” Furthermore, it also lists the FOB as “Manufacturer
(OEM).”
Attached you will find a copy of your bid specifications with asterisks marking our areas of concern.
Additionally, I have included a copy of GE Walker’s proposal where you can clearly see that the portable grid and holder have been left off and I have circled in red the issues with the freight charges and the FOB assessment.
Based on this information, it is our desire that the situation be remedied by declaring the proposal from GE Walker as “non-compliant.”
Respectfully submitted-
Jarrod Stiff President Capital X-Ray, Inc.
