Highlights

A firm requested reconsideration of its denied protest of a Department of Energy (DOE) prime contractor's subcontract award for steel containers. GAO had held that DOE and the prime contractor properly determined that the awardee's product met the specifications. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that the awardee's product did not meet the requirement for strong, tight containers. GAO held that the protester failed to show any error of fact or law in the original decision that would warrant reversal. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
