[Protest of Coast Guard Rejection of Bid for LED Buoy Lanterns]

A firm protested the Coast Guard's rejection of its bid and subsequent contract awards for light emitting diode buoy lanterns, contending that the Coast Guard unreasonably rejected its proposal as technically unacceptable. GAO held that the Coast Guard reasonably rejected the protester's proposal as unacceptable, since the protester failed to submit detailed technical information in accordance with the solicitation's requirements. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
