[Protest Against Navy Solicitation for Strip-Chart Recorder]

B-232147.2 Published: Nov 01, 1988. Publicly Released: Nov 01, 1988.

Highlights

A firm protested a Navy solicitation for a strip-chart recorder, contending that the brand-name specifications were unduly restrictive. GAO would not review the protest, since the protester untimely presented this argument in response to the Navy's report on its initial protest against the Navy's use of design-type specifications. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
