Highlights
A firm protested a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contract award for ribbon cartridges, contending that the awardee should have submitted bid samples, since its product did not conform to the solicited brand-name product. GAO held that: (1) the awardee's product was identical to the solicited product; and (2) FAA had successfully tested the awardee's product. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
