Allegations of Impossible and Unsafe Solicitation Specifications

The protester alleged that the solicitation specifications could not be met and that they violated safety requirements. The protester's telephone conversation prior to bid opening concerning the specifications was a timely protest to the agency. However, the new contention raised after bid opening was untimely and not for consideration. It could not be concluded that the specifications were impossible to meet and not in accordance with the actual needs of the agency.
