Allegations of Failure to Meet Solicitation Requirements and Source Origin Requirements

A protest to a contract award for medical and surgical supplies was based on allegations that solicitation requirements were not met and that some items were from a foreign source. Because of improper acceptance of items by the contracting officer and disregard of solicitation requirements, it was recommended that the contract be terminated. Allegations of failure to meet source requirements were incorrect, and restitution was accepted for items from the foreign source.
