Highlights
The protester objected to the inclusion of the Buy American Act provision in solicitations for the procurement of military berets. The protester also alleged that contracts were awarded for berets which will not meet the applicable military specifications. The protest concerning the solicitation was untimely and was not considered on its merits. It appeared that the procured berets will meet the military specifications. GAO will not consider protests which do not involve the expenditure of appropriated funds.
