Highlights
The protester objected to the extension of the life of a mandatory requirements contract for plug-to-plug compatible memory for use with various designated electronic data processing equipment. GAO held that multiple extensions of the contract beyond the option period were unjustified, since the necessity apparently arose from the agency's failure to timely solicit a follow-on contract. Therefore, the protest was sustained.
