Allegedly Improper Restrictive Nature of Invitation for Bids

The protester alleged that the invitation for bids improperly restricted items for use in the performance of a contract. The protest, filed after bid opening, was untimely and was not considered on its merits. There was no basis for objecting to the supplying by a large business a particular item for use in the contract to the prime contractor under a total small business set-aside contract.
