[Protest of Any Award Under GSA Solicitation]

A firm protested any contract award under a solicitation issued by the General Services Administration, contending that the solicitation was defective and that the low bidder could not meet the specifications. GAO held that the allegation of solicitation defects was not timely filed. GAO also held that the bidder's ability to meet the specifications was a matter of bidder responsibility, and GAO will not review affirmative determinations of responsibility absent a showing of fraud or bad faith on the part of the contracting officer. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
