[Protest of Navy Solicitation for Radio Fire Alarm Transmitters]

Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

A firm protested a Navy solicitation for radio fire alarm transmitters, contending that the solicitation specifications were unduly restrictive. GAO held that the solicitation requirements were not unduly restrictive, since the specifications reasonably reflected the Navy's minimum system compatibility needs. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
