Highlights
A firm protested a Coast Guard contract award for a fire suppression system, contending that the Coast Guard improperly rejected bids which offered its system, since its product met the brand-name-or-equal specifications. GAO held that the protester was not sufficiently interested to protest, since it was the potential supplier and not a bidder. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
