Highlights

A company requested reconsideration of a decision in which GAO denied complaints regarding an Army procurement. In requesting reconsideration, the company questioned GAO understanding of its protest, asserted that GAO should have sought outside technical assistance in ferreting out the facts, argued that they could provide in-line diagnostics, and suggested that the Army's requirement permitted only a specific brand of diagnostics to be offered. The prior GAO decision rejected complaints in this respect, because the company did not establish that the Army's stated need was unreasonable. The offeror has the responsibility to establish that the equipment it proposes will meet the procuring agency's needs; the protester submitted data which served only to convince the Army its equipment could not. The company offered no evidence that was not previously considered in support of its request and failed to show that the prior GAO decision was based on any error of law or fact. The request for reconsideration was denied.
