Protest to Procurement before Resolution of Previous Protest

The protester to a contract award contended that there was no urgent need for procurement before resolution of a protest to rejection of its low offer. In view of demand, leadtime, and inventory requirements, the determination of urgency was reasonable. Rejection of the protester's proposal was proper because of record of past failure. The protest to inadequate specifications was untimely and the contention that competition was restricted was without merit.
