Further, to the extent that Triton challenges the proposed debarment, we note that the General Accounting Office will not review a protest that an agency improperly proposed a contractor for debarment, as the contracting agency is the appropriate forum for debarment disputes. See Shinwha Electronics , B-290603 et al. , Sept. 3, 2002, 2002 CPD ¶ 154 at 5. (Triton Electronic Enterprises, Inc., B-294221; B-294248; B-294249, July 9, 2004) (pdf)

With respect to future cases, our Office will no longer review, even under a limited standard, protests that an agency improperly suspended or debarred a contractor from receiving government contracts. Because the FAR sets forth specific procedures for both imposing and challenging a suspension or debarment action, see FAR S:S: 9.406-3(b), 9.407-3(b), we conclude that the appropriate forum for resolving such disputes is with the contracting agency. See SDA, supra. To the extent that our prior decisions are inconsistent with our ruling here, we will no longer follow our prior decisions in this regard.  (Shinwha Electronics, B-290603; B-290603.2; B-290931; B-290932, B-290932.2, B-291064, September 3, 2002)
