[Request for Reconsideration of Dismissed Protest Under Navy Solicitation for Thermoelectric Cooling Modules]

A firm requested reconsideration of its dismissed protest against a Navy solicitation for thermoelectric cooling modules. GAO had held that the protester was not sufficiently interested to challenge the solicitation. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that GAO should investigate its allegations of improper procurement practices, since its standing as a subcontractor was a mere technicality. GAO held that potential subcontractors were not sufficiently interested to challenge a solicitation. Accordingly, the dismissal was affirmed.
