Highlights
The protester objected to solicitation specifications, alleging that they were restrictive and prevented full and free competition. The invitation for bids precluded a system which had a successful record of performance in other agencies in similar circumstances and unduly restricted competition in the absence of inadequate performance or unacceptable shortcomings demonstrated by the experience of the agency or others, engineering analysis, or other logical basis.
