DIGEST: PROTEST IS DISMISSED WHERE AMENDMENTS TO SOLICITATION INCORPORATING PROVISION AND EXTENSION SOUGHT BY PROTESTER RENDER PROTEST MOOT.

ALAN SCOTT INDUSTRIES:

ON JUNE 26, 1978, ALAN SCOTT INDUSTRIES (SCOTT) PROTESTED THE FAILURE OF THE DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY (DLA) TO INCORPORATE IN REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) NO. DLA120-78-R-1726 A CLAUSE EXEMPTING UNITED KINGDOM (UK) FURNISHED PRODUCTS FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THE BUY AMERICAN ACT AND REQUESTING THAT THE SOLICITATION BE EXTENDED TO PERMIT PARTICIPATION BY SCOTT. ON AUGUST 8, 1978, DLA REPORTED TO US THAT THE RFP HAD BEEN AMENDED ON JUNE 23 TO INCORPORATE THE PROVISION SOUGHT BY SCOTT AND THAT A SECOND AMENDMENT ISSUED ON JUNE 28 EXTENDED THE RFP FOR 10 DAYS TO JULY 21.

SINCE THE RELIEF SOUGHT BY THE PROTESTER HAS ALREADY BEEN GRANTED, WE REGARD THE MATTER AS MOOT. THE PROTEST IS DISMISSED.
